In a room in the hotel, Liu Surong was talking to Liu Xingtian.

On this trip to Russia, Liu Xingtian was personally present. As the ZX of the Chinese Football Association, he even attaches great importance to this World Cup at the top level, and Yunsheng's special relationship with the upper echelons makes Liu Xingtian have to pay special attention.

"Rong Rong, I didn't expect that a hairy boy back then would now become a big man in China." Liu Xingtian said with emotion.

Liu Surong was also very puzzled: "I still don't understand why Yunsheng became the coach of the Huaguo team all of a sudden, and even I haven't heard any news." ”

"He keeps it a secret from you, which proves that the matter is very important," Liu Xingtian said solemnly, "I heard your mother's family say that this time it was the old man who spoke, asking for all the help to Yunsheng, just hoping that Yunsheng can lead the team to play in the World Cup." I don't think it's that simple, there must be some other cases in it. I heard that one night, Yun Sheng and the old man chatted late at night and had a very happy conversation. ”

Liu Surong couldn't believe it, but she also understood the importance: "I understand, I won't ask what I shouldn't ask, I just need to fully support Yunsheng." ”

Liu Xingtian nodded: "I have removed all the spies placed by Yun Sheng's side, and there will be no need for it in the future." ”

"Dad, why are you still spying on him?" Liu Surong was a little unhappy.

Liu Xingtian was a little embarrassed: "Rong Rong, I'm afraid that you will suffer." Now the situation is different, Yun Sheng even has a few top masters around him to protect him, and even a lot of people from the FBI have been killed, so I don't want to get involved, so as not to cause Yun Sheng to be unhappy because of this matter, which will affect your marriage. ”

Speaking of marriage, Liu Surong's face flushed slightly: "We plan to hold the wedding at the end of the year in the imperial capital, and after the World Cup is over, I will prepare in advance." ”

Liu Xingtian touched his daughter's head dotingly: "Rong Rong, your life's events have finally reassured me, this conscienceless Yun Sheng can be regarded as thinking of my daughter." ”

Liu Surong defended Yun Sheng: "He is also for his career, don't blame him." ”

The night in Russia is quiet and deep, and everyone has their own mind and their own future......

During the preparation for the World Cup, Li Tie focused on the team's training, Sun Jihai mainly sorted out the opponent's information, and Yun Sheng focused more on the selection of the starting lineup.

The 23-man squad for this year's Huaguo World Cup can be described as a gathering of geniuses.

Goalkeepers: Yan Junling, Zeng Cheng, Wang Dalei.

Defenders: Zheng Zhi, Zhang Linpeng, Zhang Chengdong, Yu Hai, Feng Xiaoting, Yu Dabao, Jiang Zhipeng.

Midfielders: Cai Huikang, Huang Bowen, Chen Tao, Wang Chuhe, Wu Xi, Hao Junmin, Deng Zhuoxiang, Yang Liyu.

Forwards: Wu Lei, Dong Fangzhuo, Wei Shihao, Gao Lin, Zhang Yuning.

Zhang Xizhe, Li Xuepeng and several other players are injured, and although Mei Fang, Ren Xing and other players are also very good, they still failed to be selected into the final squad in the fierce competition.

In fact, there are still many fans who have questioned this list before.

For example, the veteran Zhou Haibing was abandoned at the last moment, and Zhao Churi, Cai Huikang and Huang Bowen were selected.

For example, on the back line, the much-anticipated Leicester City center-back combination Mei Fang and Ren Xing were finally abandoned, and they were replaced by Yu Dabao and Yu Hai.

There is also a forward line, the French golden boot Yang continued to be defeated, and Leeds United's young center Zhang Yuning was elected.

and the defeat of Sun Ke, Yang Liyu and others also made many fans complain about Gao Bo, the coach of the Huaguo team at the time.

However, when Yunsheng came to the national team, he bluntly said that this lineup was decided by him in advance, and no one from the fans said anything.

If it is Gao Bo, it will definitely not work, but Yunsheng's selection must be very reasonable.

(Gao Bo: I think you're a bit of a bully...... ）

Yunsheng's selection has deep significance.

In the case of similar strength between veterans and young people, Yunsheng chooses more young people, such as Yang Xu and Zhang Yuning, and then Zhou Haibing and Cai Huikang.

Among the players in Europe, players who have recently participated in European competitions, Yunsheng is preferred.

On the back line, Yunsheng thought twice and brought the 38-year-old veteran captain Zheng Zhi.

For this passer, who has experienced the peaks and lows of Chinese football, although his playing time at AC Milan has gradually decreased last season and is on the verge of retirement, and there are not many opportunities to perform in this World Cup, his leadership role is still obvious.

There are also 32-year-old veteran Yu Hai, 31-year-old veteran Yu Dabao, and Yunsheng also brought them.

This season, Yu Hai has gradually retreated from his position at Manchester United and started to play at left-back. Although he wasn't as fast as he used to be, he showed world-class quality at left-back and he was the best left-back in the Premier League last season.

Yu Dabao was injured this season, but because of his "lucky star" attribute and the "jack-of-all-trades" attribute that can play multiple positions, Yunsheng finally brought him with him and registered him as a defender.

The 20-year-old Yang Liyu performed well in Ligue 1 last season, and Yunsheng also brought him to Russia. In the luxury midfield of the Chinese team, Yang Liyu looks inconspicuous, and the possibility of playing this time is very small, but Yun Sheng hopes to take him to see how much he can see.

On the whole, the starting lineup of the Huaguo team this time is strong and the age structure is reasonable.

Theoretically, whoever starts is impeccable, but Yunsheng still wants to be able to choose the most suitable combination and select the players who are in the best form.

Especially in the group stage with a relatively short time interval, Yunsheng needs a certain amount of rotation, so the combination of players should be more cautious.

And in this World Cup journey of the Chinese team, they once again encountered big trouble - the group of death reappeared!

In the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese team met Brazil, Turkey and Costa Rica.

In the end, Brazil was the champion, Turkey was the third runner-up, and Costa Rica was also strong.

In the 2014 World Cup, the Chinese team was placed in a group with England, the Netherlands and Ivory Coast, and the group of death remained.

And in this World Cup in Russia, the Chinese team suffered the group of death for the third time!

Argentina! Italy! Croatia!

When Yun Sheng saw this grouping, he was stunned.

This is the real group of death!

Although Italy missed the World Cup in Russia in the parallel world of later generations, Italy finally advanced to the 2018 World Cup in this life.

The team that Yunsheng once led and won the 2012 World Cup together will meet the Chinese team in the group stage.

And Argentina has the bonus of the plum ball king, does it need to be said about the strength?

The last opponent, Croatia, in the parallel world of later generations, they are the runners-up of this World Cup.

Encountering such three opponents, the Huaguo team fell into a real group of death!
