Chapter Eighty-Seven: Walking the Red Carpet
After a day of shopping with Camus, Igarashi Chikei returned to the hotel.
At this time, he already had a copy of the game situation in his hand.
Today is the 10th, and the exhibition match starts on the 17th.
The opening ceremony was held on the same day as the exhibition match.
The group stage starts on the 25th.
Tomorrow there will be a draw for the group stage to establish the list of countries in each group.
There are four teams in each group, with the two teams with the most wins advancing to the knockout rounds.
The entire group stage lasts for a week.
When the top 16 teams emerge from the group stage, the U17 World Cup enters the knockout stage.
This is the most brutal stage of the Under-17 World Cup, and all the countries will do their best to beat their opponents.
Because if you lose a match, it means that the World Championship journey is over, and there is no repechage format to speak of.
That's why singles and doubles are extremely important in every match.
The entire knockout round lasts for fifteen days, until the champion, runner-up and third place are decided, and only the final closing ceremony remains.
The schedule is not very tight, and all the teams have plenty of rest time.
There are seven days left before the opening ceremony and the exhibition match, and in two days the first army will arrive in France.
There will be about five days to adjust to my condition, and I will be able to take this opportunity to take a good rest.
......
Early the next morning
The draw for the France U17 World Cup has officially begun.
According to the world rankings, the teams from each country will enter the venue in turn and wait for the draw.
There is also a distance from the drop-off point to the lottery venue, and the red carpet is laid on the road, which is similar to the red carpet of artists.
The cars arranged by the French side for the 32 national representatives have been parked at the drop-off points in order of the country's world ranking.
In a world where tennis is the most important tournament, this tournament is the one that attracts people's attention the most.
Because there will be many professional players who will be active in the professional arena in the future.
The leaders of the countries who came here to draw lots as representatives were the center of attention of the media.
Journalists from all over the world are on the red carpet as they await the national team leaders who will come to draw lots.
Powerful countries will naturally come out in the back.
The main players of BIG4 will be at the end.
In other words, the first player to appear will be the commander of the Republic of Natsu, ranked 32nd in the world.
The media was not interested in the appearance of these countries, and just took a few photos according to the process and then hastily ended.
This was followed by Taiwan, China, with thirty-one people.
Thailand ranked 30th and South Korea ranked 29th.
The main player of the South Korean team posed for the camera, seemingly forgetting the painful lesson of being shaved by the Phoenix of Byodowon.
Except for those from South Korea, reporters from other countries did not show even the slightest enthusiasm.
The strength is partly due to this, but even more important is the inferiority of the South Korean team in terms of the game.
It didn't take long for Neon, which is ranked twenty-third in the world.
The black sedan stopped at the drop-off point.
The door was slowly pushed open, revealing a pair of long legs in shiny leather shoes.
Chikage Igarashi got out of the car and tidied up her clothes a little, and then walked onto the red carpet.
When Chikei Igarashi appeared in front of everyone, all the cameras were pointed at Chikei's body.
Journalists from all over the world sighed in their hearts when they saw the people who got out of the car.
What a handsome young man!
Spectators around the world who tuned in to the event couldn't help but be amazed.
"That's ..... A thousand views of Igarashi! ”
The reporters excitedly picked up their cameras and snapped at Chikage Igarashi who was walking slowly.
The leader of this budding neon team is tied for first place with Camus, the leader of the French team, in the ranking of the world's new generation of popular players.
What is the highlight, this is!
And he was also a kingship who was famous in Europe not long ago.
Many European girls regard him as the perfect partner.
"They set off a revolution in the neon country, brushing off all the original team members and sitting in this position. I haven't lost a warm-up match since then! ”
"This time, the neon team is menacing."
"If my home team is eliminated, I support the Neon team unconditionally!"
The surrounding reporters were discussing excitedly, and the camera in his hand kept pressing the shutter.
A series of lights kept flickering, and those who appeared in front of them would be completely treated by two worlds.
The main general of the Korean team looked at the star-studded Chikei Igarashi, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of resentment.
This guy has stolen the limelight!
He didn't realize that he didn't have any limelight at all.
Chiké Igarashi in a suit has a noble temperament that always makes people want to take pictures.
When approaching the reporter's area, Chikage Igarashi smiled slightly and bowed her head slightly.
At this moment, the hearts of many female reporters were captured by the gentle smile of Chikage Igarashi.
Walking into the venue, he sat down in his place according to the sign.
In the following time, the main players of the national team walked in one after another.
Soon after, another black sedan stopped outside.
The U.S. team, ranked fifth in the world, is in action.
is also a freshman in high school, and he defeated the former Neon U17 team leader directly with just one goal.
A player with exceptional perseverance and excellent leadership skills.
In addition, he is also the second most popular player of the new generation of tennis players in the world.
Second only to Chiké Igarashi and Camus.
....
Afterwards, the car with the captain of the Spanish team stopped at the drop-off point.
The strongest newcomer in the world, Antonio da Medanore.
The specific grade is unknown, but it's probably the same as Igarashi Chikage and others, and it's also a high school freshman.
Medanore, with shaggy hair, stepped out of the car.
The camera's camera was on Medanore, and his fingers pressed the shutter frantically.
Medanore is the most mysterious of the players.
From the time his name appeared in the world, he was the name of the strongest newcomer in the world.
The Spanish side deliberately blocked the information of Medanore, and no one knew how strong the strongest newcomer really was.
.....
This World Cup is followed by the host of this World Cup, which is also the world's third-ranked French team.
The main player of the team is also a first-year high school student, a very special tactician, who is considered by the German team to have the potential to drastically change the world tennis model.
A revolutionary who can listen to the voice of tennis and vow of love for tennis and hold high the banner of revolution, and has the leadership skills to lead the French team with a distinctive personality.
When Camus walked out, the audience sighed again.
It's a handsome young man again, did all the really good-looking people go to play tennis?
