Chapter 613 The Situation of the Competition

Putting those things aside, after returning to China, the training camp for the national team has already begun.

After all, the World Cup is a major event, so the national team is well prepared.Everyone knows very well that it is very difficult for one person to have the opportunity to play in the World Cup several times. It is because of good luck that they can meet each other.

What's more, the Chinese team's grouping this year is still very good.The four teams in the group are France, Togo, and Switzerland.

There are several reasons for saying that the grouping is very good: First, the African team that the team needs to face is Togo - Zhao Yaning has heard about the Togo team. Ten games, seven wins, two draws and one loss, but when I heard Adebayor talk about the Togo national team, I didn’t think very highly of it. Although the overall strength of the African teams is not as good as that of Europe and South America, there are still strong teams. At least However, if he encounters a team like Côte d'Ivoire, Zhao Yaning will still feel a headache.However, Togo is not a traditional strong team in Africa. Their strength is relatively weak. It is even the first time for them to play in the World Cup, and their experience is worse than that of the Chinese team. This also gives people a lot of confidence.

The other second-tier team is Switzerland.Zhao Yaning doesn’t know much about the Swiss team, so he has to say something—he knows a lot about Senderos, Switzerland’s main defensive star. , he has been bullied by Didier Drogba and has a 'Drogba phobia', which can be regarded as a typical product of failure. [

However, club competitions and national team competitions are two different things. Zhao Yaning doesn't think that when it comes to the national team, things will still take the same space to travel through.Although the overall strength of the Swiss team can't be said to be very good, it should not be underestimated if it can stand out in the European competition.

And then there is the French team.

This time, the French team has been accused of declining strength more than once before the game.The last World Cup group qualifying, and the last European Cup lost to Greece, the current French team is not very optimistic.

Although in terms of absolute strength, the French team can never be said to be weak.Not only are they not weak, but they are also a team with many stars.But the problem is that the French have always had their own problems. In 02 and 04, they played extremely poorly in two consecutive major competitions, which also caused them to be underestimated a lot.

Moreover, France is now underestimated, and there are many reasons: Zidane has already made a declaration to retire after the World Cup, so it is hard to say what kind of football he can play.Although in the past half of the season, he has played very well, but after all, this is the madness of the veteran at the last moment. How he can perform in the World Cup has naturally caused a lot of speculation.And this World Cup, Domenech, who is overly conceited, also refused to take Pires to Germany, and the reason he gave was that Pires and his own astrology were not in harmony-such a nonsense team would naturally not be favored.

It is understandable that some coaches have a preference or dislike for certain players: Inzaghi's national team career is almost soy sauce, Harvey was still on the bench until 04.Some coaches want to show their iron handsome demeanor, and it is very possible to find one or two people to attack, but the real iron handsome, looking for trouble is also for the reason of inconsistent tactics, or the thorns in the team. It is really unheard of for someone to use astrology as an excuse to find trouble.

Zhao Yaning played in France for three years, and he also supported the French on the issue of winning the World Cup.But even so, he didn't know how to evaluate Domenech-Domenech refused to bring it this time, except for Pires and Giuly.The two main wingers who reached the Champions League final, but both lost to the national team.That is to say, the French team has a strong foundation and can withstand tossing. Even if they are not brought along, there are still a group of excellent wingers playing in France such as Malouda, Ribery, and Govou. Who would dare to do such a thing?

And Pires was expelled because of the constellation problem, and Giuly was expelled because of the woman problem.

Although Giuly has just won the Champions League and his performance is extremely eye-catching, he is also someone Domenech would not bring with him to death.In fact, there was only one reason: because Giuly didn't know which muscle in his head was not working well, and he wanted to seduce Domenech's girlfriend.In fact, he only met the woman once, and then he started sending messages to seduce her. Naturally, Domenech couldn't bear such a thing, and immediately expelled him from the French team.

A player was expelled from the national team for seducing the coach's girlfriend. Such a thing, if not unprecedented, is at least unprecedented.

"I am true love, you don't understand."

When contacting Jiuli, Jiuli didn't care about it.Zhao Yaning can't help but maliciously speculate: Could it be that he did it on purpose?Maybe he played the national team game just to get angry with Lyon manager Lacombe?When Lacombe said that he would definitely not be able to play ten national team games, and when Giuly made trouble and quit the national team, he played a total of 11 times for the French national team...

However, Jiuli's matter is certainly wrong with Jiuli, but it can also be seen that Domenech's charm is not strong enough.A head coach with enough personal charm will not worry about such trouble no matter what, right?Not to mention those famous and charming coaches, even ordinary coaches, it is impossible for such nonsense to arise.But for such a thing, Zhao Yaning did not dare to draw conclusions easily: the French are so natural, Platini is famously attractive, isn’t he cuckolded by his teammates?

This is actually an important reason for not being optimistic: the French team is dominated by veterans, most of whom are very difficult to manage.The most important thing for them to play football is not how to plan a reasonable tactic--a group of old ball skins, no one will easily have problems, and tactical matters are secondary--their most critical problem is that they have A very good leader who can unite them and lead them to the championship.

In 98, they still had Deschamps. At this time, it is hard to say whether they can play together.

It is precisely because of this uncertainty that people doubt their strength, and this also makes Zhao Yaning wonder how to evaluate their strength and rejoice as before.However, they have always received less attention than other teams anyway.

Before the World Cup, the most popular teams are naturally Brazil, Argentina, and England, the most famous teams.

Needless to say, Brazil, with Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Adriano, is known as a fantasy quartet. Their strength makes Robinho, Juninho and others A large number of players on the Golden Globe list can only sit on the bench to get by.The Brazilians seem too lazy to talk about whether they can win the World Cup. What they talk about most now is Ronaldo breaking the World Cup scoring record and Ronaldinho winning the World Cup.

In the past two years, Argentina has been hailed as "the second in the world". The reason for saying this is because they always lose to Brazil. Besides, they don't have any opponents, so naturally they are number two in the world. [

And then there is England, which has once again been crowned the strongest in history.However, England at this stage is indeed not bad, and their strength is still quite good.Although it is not necessarily on the same side as the strongest in history or the strongest in the world, there is absolutely no objection to saying that this is a top ten team in the world.Judging from the books alone, they are indeed good. Although their head coach Eriksson seems to have some problems with his character, he is still quite pragmatic in terms of coaching.Although Zhao Yaning has always felt that England is now weaker than in 02, but it is still true to say that they are a strong team.

Besides them, the big favorite is Italy.

In terms of lineup strength, they are also extremely good.A world-class defense, but also a world-class midfielder, although the forward line is a little worse, but there are Totti, Del Piero and others, and there is this year's European Golden Boot winner, breaking the dust of Serie A Tony, who has been cursed with 30 goals for many years, their strength is very good, not to mention, their head coach Lippi is probably the best coach among the top 32.

But the problem is that the current Italian team can be said to be in a state of desperation. The phone call incident has already caused a lot of quarrels in European football. Under such influence, no one dares to guarantee how far Italy can go.

The luck of the Chinese team is quite good for not being assigned to the same group as these four teams.

In fact, the grouping of Asian teams can be considered pretty good.

Inside Iran's grouping are Portugal, Mexico, and Angola.Although they dare not say that they will win when they meet Portugal and Mexico, they can strive for a draw with whomever they meet.Not to mention Angola. Angola has been in civil war before 2002. This is the first time they have advanced to the finals. Not to mention, it is even the first time they have participated in the World Cup qualifiers. The difference in experience is unique in the world. , Iran is in a group with them, and if you are lucky, you can qualify.

Japan is in the same group as Brazil, Australia, and Croatia.Naturally, Brazil doesn’t need to think about it, but Australia is not necessarily better than Japan. Croatia is even more weak now, almost relying on a Pursau to support Japan. It’s not that there is no chance to advance. In fact, the Japanese themselves think higher .The slogan they shouted was to join hands with Brazil to qualify for the group stage, and then strive to eliminate Italy and challenge for the quarter-finals.

Such a slogan made Zhao Yaning couldn't help but think of the slogan of the Chinese team in 2002. It seems that the Chinese are not the only ones who are used to being crazy.

In the Saudi group, strong teams such as Spain will naturally challenge them, while Tunisia is a strong African team, but its strength is unknown. The last European team is Ukraine, which is also the first time to advance to the finals. Whether it can go very far is hard to say.

Although South Korea took the last train to the World Cup after a lot of noise and competition, it was obviously cheated by FIFA.Their grouping is Argentina, Côte d'Ivoire, South Korea, and the Netherlands. Zhao Yaning estimates that unless Germany becomes the land of the Koreans, and every game dreams of going back to 2002, otherwise, they probably won't get a point and go home directly.

Fortunately, this situation is not bad at all.Whether such a good game can play good cards depends entirely on oneself.
