If the previous year's Confederations Cup was a warm-up prelude to the World Cup, then the draw ceremony sounded the clarion call for the World Cup, and all teams that had the opportunity to participate in the World Cup began to prepare for the world's most watched and influential football feast.

Although the draw ceremony is still much less influential than the annual FIFA Night, the organizing committee is not ambiguous at all, carefully preparing every link, and also arranging a long blue carpet at the gate of the venue, so that all the world coaches and stars present, as well as FIFA and football association officials from all continents can make an appearance on it, and warm up for this grand event.

In order to prepare for this feast, the organizing committee specially arranged the time for the European League to enter the winter break, which also allowed many top stars to receive invitations, national team managers and captains from various countries almost all came to the scene to participate in this grand event, as well as many well-known stars in Brazil, or former stars.

Hyundai Motor from South Korea is the main sponsor of the World Cup, so this time they also arranged their own flagship car to be in charge of the reception of the draw ceremony.

One after another, Hyundai Yakos, which claimed to be the president's car, parked on the blue and red carpet at the gate of the venue, and celebrities arrived at the venue one after another, many of them also attended with their families, because after the lottery ceremony, the organizing committee also held a drinking party, of course, some people chose to arrive alone.

When another Arcos stopped at the gate, the reporters at the scene habitually raised their cameras to shoot with a snap, but they were already numb and they had already given up guessing who would be in the car, because they had guessed enough and were tired of it, anyway, they would know when they came out.

But. When the door opens. When Yang Cheng stepped out of the car, everyone at the scene was surprised, followed by a burst of cheers and the sound of cameras shooting wildly. Even many of them regret that if they knew that they should have filmed the whole process earlier.

Yang Cheng was dressed in a black suit and a white cotton V-neck T-shirt underneath. It's simple, black and white, but it gives people a refreshing fashion feeling, especially with his trademark confident smile, which made countless fans shout loudly, and there are also many reporters who are trying to keep him, hoping that he will stay for a while.

Indeed, Yang Cheng did not walk into the venue for the first time, but went around to the other side of the car. This made everyone present wonder, and the reporter was also shooting wildly, because there were not many people who could get Yang Cheng to take the initiative to open the car door for him. What is sacred?

When the car door opens. Charlize? When Theron stepped out of the car, everyone was dizzy. And then stunning!

Say Charlize? Theron is the goddess of perfection, and it's no exaggeration!

But any tall woman usually has an aura that makes people look up, but in addition to being tall, a woman who also has a beautiful face is simply the goddess of all men, not to mention that this woman seems to be born with a good taste and fashion skills, which is simply synonymous with perfection.

A midnight blue bandeau dress looks like the starry sky at midnight, and the dotted sequins on it are like the stars in the night sky, clinging to her delicate and perfect body, especially the exposed white shoulders and the blonde hair that falls straight down, bringing an incredible visual impact.

Although she clearly knows that the woman in front of her has given birth to two children, she is still so perfect in terms of figure and appearance, especially wearing this tight-fitting little dress, which highlights her flat abdomen and soft snake waist without a trace of fat.

Standing beside Yang Cheng, the two of them were talented and beautiful, which made everyone present feel amazed, this is definitely a perfect pair!

After letting reporters and fans take a few photos outside, Yang Cheng and the two waved their hands to the accusatory crowd, turned around and walked into the venue. Theron held Yang Cheng's hand like a little woman, and Yang Cheng also took good care of her, and the two of them gave people a feeling of glue.

"What we just saw was the head coach of the German national team, Kaiser? Yang Cheng, and his girlfriend, Hollywood goddess Charlize? Theron appeared at the venue of the draw ceremony together, and sure enough, she was a talented woman, which caused a huge response and sensation at the scene, and you can hear the cheers of the fans from our live broadcast footage. ”

"Now that we've met Caesar at the gate, let's ask him a few questions!"

When he said this, the camera was given to Yang Cheng, Charlize? Theron stood beside him with a smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Yang Cheng!" The host handed the microphone to Yang Cheng and got a greeting in response, "Excuse me, do you have any thoughts on the next lottery ceremony?" For example, which team would you like to meet? Or maybe you don't want to run into a team? ”

Yang Cheng knew that this lottery ceremony was broadcast live around the world, so he specially accepted an interview with the live TV station when he entered the venue, which was also something that the organizing committee had requested before.

"There's nothing I don't want to meet, or a team I want to meet, it's the same for me and my team!"

"Wow!" The location host laughed, "It looks like a confident answer." ”

"But we all know that in the European Championship, the German team was unfortunately drawn in the group of death, this time you were selected as the seeded team, is it a blessing for you to escape?" The moderator asked again.

Yang Cheng shook his head and pursed his lips, "I don't have this feeling, although it is difficult to meet the group of death, but in the knockout round in Europe, we have lost the two major rivals of France and Portugal, so I think it is the same for everyone who is drawn!" ”

The host hummed, indicating that he still agreed, and then pointed the microphone and camera at the glamorous Charlize? Theron.

"Hello, Miss Theron!" After receiving a response, he continued to ask: "We all know that you received the invitation this time as the ambassador of the World Cup in South Africa, and you feel that you are standing on a fair and neutral position. Which team do you prefer to win? ”

After a pause. He solemnly reminded, "Please note that I am talking about a fair and neutral position. You can't bring personal feelings, otherwise you'll definitely say Germany! ”

Charlize? Theron chuckled, "You're asking me to give me answers other than the German team." Is it? ”

The host made an expression of a small conspiracy succeeding, and nodded incessantly, "Do you dare to say it?" ”

"Dare!" Charlize? Theron nodded without hesitation and replied, "But I really can't think of any other team other than the German team that can win the championship?" Can you tell me? ”

"Uh......" the host was speechless, "you can say Brazil, Spain, or the United States, you can do it!" ”

"But I still think Germany is the strongest!" Charlize? Theron gripped Yang Cheng's arm tightly. Laughing haha replied.

The host really couldn't help it, sighed, but nodded. "Definitely. Everyone is optimistic about Germany! Then they could also see that after Yang Cheng dealt with it a few times. His mind rushed inside, so he asked a few more casual questions, and sent Yang Cheng and the others into the venue.

…………

…………

The sensation before the draw ceremony obviously could not help the German team take advantage of the draw ceremony, but the host was also right, this time the German team finally relied on its own strength and was ranked into the seeded team.

Pot 1 of the seeded teams includes hosts Brazil, defending champions Spain, Germany, Italy, Argentina, England, the Netherlands and Uruguay, and these eight teams will be seeded in eight groups to avoid an early encounter, but that doesn't mean the other teams are weak.

Pot 2 teams are from Asia, Oceania, CONCACAF and the Caribbean, Pot 3 is from Africa and South America, and Pot 4 is also very competitive.

According to the draw rules, all teams from the same continent, except for Europe, cannot be in the same group, the host Brazil won the title of the seeded team in Group A, followed by Spain, Germany won the title of the top seed team in Group C, and then the other seeded teams were drawn and placed in the first position of each of the eight groups.

After the draw for Pot 2 began, Germany in Group C faced Japan from Asia.

This should be the second time that the German team has encountered Japan after the Confederations Cup, and they have met in two consecutive major tournaments, and the Japanese team is also unlucky, so that after seeing the draw results, Zaccheroni also took a special look at Yang Cheng, showing a helpless and depressed expression, because it is in a group with the German team, which means that Japan can only fight for the second place in the group.

The team in the third pot, the German team drew Colombia, and this team is not considered a top team, so on the whole, the German team's group draw is indeed lucky, at least the first three rounds of the draw have gone well, but the fourth round of the draw Germany will encounter teams from Europe.

The teams that did not enter the seeding team, including France, Portugal, Switzerland, Russia and other teams, will be strong opponents of the German team, but the final result of the draw is Croatia, which also makes the German team encounter a good draw in the draw.

"Looks like you're in luck!" Charlize? Theron was underneath, grabbing Yang Cheng's hand and laughing softly.

Yang Cheng smiled, "The teams in the World Cup finals are mixed, and there are 32 teams, in order to ensure attention, they must avoid the early emergence of strong dialogues, so there are seeded teams, but at the same time, they will also take proper care of those strong teams with market influence and appeal!" ”

Charlize? Theron listened silently, she was no stranger to all of this, as was the case with almost all draws.

Now it is said that football is a professional sport, and the events of the national team are also highly market-oriented, since it is market-oriented, it is natural to do things in accordance with the laws of the market, so keep the suspense to the end, which must be the most eye-catching, so the organizing committee's approach is understandable.

"However, it is easy to qualify for the group stage, if you want to win the championship, luck is only part of the story, the key is to rely on strength!" When he said this, Yang Cheng smiled confidently, "We Chinese have a saying, you must be hard to strike iron!" ”

The group draw of this World Cup can be described as uneventful, and the grouping of those seeded strong teams is not bad, either the strength is very different, or it is relatively average, basically ensuring the interests of the strong teams, so that these seeded teams basically have a chance to qualify. Unless they're having a problem with themselves and doing badly.

Of course. That being said, it is not possible to completely prevent the birth of an upset, especially those teams with quality. For example, the other three teams in the same group of the German team are not completely incapable of playing against the German team.

Colombia have performed well in the South American qualifiers, and their number one star Falcao is one of the most up-and-coming strikers in football today. A killer striker with a flood of goals, and the hottest super striker in European football today, who would dare to say that he won't capsize in the gutter against such an opponent?

As for Croatia, the strength of this team should not be underestimated, Modric, Eduardo, Kranica and other players are all well-known and powerful stars in Europe, such a team should definitely not be underestimated. There is a possibility of a surprising upset anytime and anywhere.

At least, in the European qualifiers, Croatia beat Belgium and Serbia to top the group. And the team is excellent defensively. The offense was a bit of a problem, but the defense was good. It can be said that he won the first place in the group by relying on tenacious defense.

There is a saying that the league relies on attack, the cup depends on defense, and this kind of team with excellent defense is often more likely to upset in the cup, so Germany must not be careless in the face of such an opponent.

Needless to say, the Japanese team is sure that Yang Cheng is sure that Germany also has a great advantage in strength, but it is still the same sentence, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Japan is no easier to deal with than Croatia and Colombia.

Because of this, after the draw ceremony, Yang Cheng said in an interview with reporters that he had enough confidence in the group, but the premise was that everyone must go all out.

"I know a lot of people are looking forward to us, but I don't think we're the favourites at all, on the contrary, I've always seen our team as a young, fast-growing team because we still have a lot of young rookies in the team and we need more time to build up and grow."

As for his three opponents, Yang Cheng said that some of them are not well understood, such as Colombia, and even he does not know Croatia as well as Japan, at least he has played one game with Japan in the Confederations Cup, and is quite familiar with Zaccheroni's team.

"But I don't think I can look at this team with the standards and impressions of the Confederations Cup, because after a year, I know that Japan is improving, and Zaccheroni is gradually instilling his coaching philosophy into this team, and I believe that Japan will become stronger by then!"

Interviewed, Yang Cheng took Charlize ? Theron participated in the reception after the lottery ceremony, and the two were the focus of attention from beginning to end, especially Yang Cheng, who could meet old acquaintances everywhere and some of his beloved apprentices.

Ronaldo brought his new girlfriend over to meet Yang Cheng again, and got to know him, this playboy went to lose weight for this new girlfriend, and lost all the fat on his body, and now it looks more pleasing to the eye.

After that, Beckenbauer also came over and talked to Yang Cheng for a while, and sent an invitation to Yang Cheng to participate in the FIFA annual awards conference in January, and in January 2013, FIFA sent an invitation to Yang Cheng, but Yang Cheng was on vacation in China at that time and did not participate in this award ceremony, which also disappointed many fans and media.

Yang Cheng has now retreated to the field of the head coach of the national team, and the exposure rate is getting less and less compared to the coaching club, although the media still often interviews and reports on Yang Cheng's affairs, but the national team only has a few games a year, if it is not for the European Cup and the Confederations Cup in succession, Yang Cheng's exposure will be pitiful.

Similar to the FIFA awards ceremony, the draw ceremony and other occasions, it is Yang Cheng's rare opportunity to make a public appearance, so this time Beckenbauer naturally refused to let Yang Cheng go and personally came forward to send out an invitation.

Yang Cheng couldn't refuse the invitation from the old buddies, and promised to attend the award ceremony and be responsible for awarding the award.

As for the annual coach award, Yang Cheng, who won three heavy championships in La Liga, the Champions League and the European Cup in 2012, won the best men's football coach of the year award without any suspense, but Yang Cheng did not participate in the award ceremony at that time, so it was Bierhoff, the leader of the German national team, who helped Yang Cheng receive the award.

Yang Cheng is also a big favorite for this year's award, but Alex Ferguson, who won the Champions League, is also a favorite, and many people feel that if there is no accident, this year's Best Men's Football Coach of the Year award is also born between Yang Cheng and Ferguson.

But frankly speaking, Yang Cheng is already numb to this award, he has already won so many awards, and this one is not bad.

"We have prepared a special gift for you this year, and we will reveal it to you when the time comes, I believe this gift is the best affirmation of your coaching career over the years, and you will definitely like it!" Beckenbauer seemed to be afraid that Yang Cheng would regret it, so he threw a new temptation to him.

"What gift?" Yang Cheng asked curiously.

Seeing him like this, Charlize on the side? Theron couldn't help but laugh, she knew her man too well, Yang Cheng was curious, especially in the field of football, his curiosity was heavy, Beckenbauer threw this to seduce him, that's absolutely right, just look at Yang Cheng's expression.

"Haha, you'll know when you get there anyway!" Surprise, no matter how you say it, it will be revealed at the end, and now that you've told you, will you still participate?

Yang Cheng smiled, he also knew that he had fallen in love with Beckenbauer's words, "Then I'll take a look, I will go if I have time, and I will go if I don't have time...... Even if it's it! He didn't care.

Beckenbauer laughed, he knew that Yang Cheng had taken the bait!
