Full-time master's opening dragon rises!

But what really allowed Grealish to break through the defense was the mess on the other side.

He didn't expect that one person could withstand the attack of three people! It's like one against three!

He really didn't expect this.

"That's Yi Tianming...!" Grealish shook his head helplessly, and in the end could only watch his own advantage being taken away by the opponent bit by bit.

Harry Quinn, the captain of the England team, has no way to use his fists because he is entangled by Chu Yunxiu and Yu Wenzhou, and there is no room for him to perform at all. This also shows that the Chinese team has no room for this special team. Taking care of the point, two elites were sent to specifically lock down Harley Quinn, an uncertain point.

However, judging from the results, the Chinese team made the right choice. Harley Quinn was strangled in the cradle. He was the first to be sent out before he could do anything for the team.

"Damn it!" Harley Quinn smashed the table angrily, and the vibration caused other England players who were playing to be stunned for a moment.

The captain's temper is relatively short-tempered, but I can't say he is violent. He is just very strict with players, just like Han Wenqing. He will encourage them if they play well.

But if he doesn't play well, or if he makes some low-level mistakes that shouldn't happen, he will severely criticize him.

An invisible pressure rose in the hearts of all England players.

So in this case, it will be very difficult for them to play this game well.

As the England players fell one after another, the team game that affected the outcome of the game finally came to an end.

8:2! !
"The Chinese team won a big victory at home. Congratulations to the Chinese team and all the Chinese players. Without their efforts, this victory would not have been possible!" Li Yibo said with a beaming smile.

"Yes, in this way, the Chinese team has suppressed England in the group stage. Now the Chinese team ranks first with three wins, while the English team has two wins and one loss!" Pan Lindau.

Xiao Yuer just continued what they said:

"On the other side, the Polish team and the Nigerian team actually had a tie. Now both teams have two losses and one tie. However, because the Nigerian team has scored a small point before, they now rely on this small point. The advantage is that the Polish team ranks third in the group, while the Polish team is fourth in the group. However, it is still very difficult for these two pairs to overtake the top two in the group and enter the knockout rounds. They must compete in the last three group matches. Just keep winning.”

"Oh?" Li Yibo and Pan Lin, two experienced commentators, did understand the key point in her words: the Nigeria team and the Poland team tied.

This tie is particularly crucial.

There are still three group matches left, which means that even if they win all in the future, they will only have three wins, two losses and a draw at most.

"That is to say...the Chinese team has almost made it to the knockout rounds!" Li Yibo blurted out after thinking for a moment.

"Theoretically speaking, there is one last hidden danger, which is losing all the next three group matches. In that case, they may be squeezed out by other teams." Pan Lin analyzed calmly, but soon put on a smile. , "But this probability is too small. You must know that in the next three group matches, the Chinese team will play against the defeated Poland and Nigeria teams at their own home court, so they have a home court advantage!"

"Yes, the great master who can win 10:0 in away games has nothing to worry about at home. In other words, maybe we should not care about the attributes of these two games, but should consider this game more Can it bring some opportunities for the Chinese team to train their players, such as trying some new lineups and new playing styles, to prepare for the subsequent knockout rounds?" said Li Yibo.

Pan Lin nodded: "Yes."

At this moment, the necessary music after the game started playing, and players from the Chinese team and England team came on the stage again to shake hands after the game, including the coaches of the two teams.

"I remember Lu Liang and Bai Shu are in your domestic league, right?" the England team coach asked while shaking hands.

"Well, yes." Ye Xiu nodded.

"Didn't he even make it to your national team?" the England coach said a little surprised, and finally nodded in relief, "Judging from today's game, the players are all very good, but we will go all out in the second round. !”

"Then we'll fight again then." Ye Xiu said.

After the handshake was over, the two players stood in a row and bowed to the audience.

"Okay, today's game is over. Let's meet again in a week!" Li Yibo said.

The second half of the group stage is scheduled for a week later, which can be regarded as leaving a relatively long buffer time for the major teams. Otherwise, traveling to various regions for a long time will be quite mentally draining for the players.

Of course, this situation will not happen after the knockout rounds.

Because the knockout round will bring together the 16 teams that have entered the knockout round and compete again.

As for this first World Invitational Tournament, it was the country of origin, China, that finally won the right to host the knockout rounds.

This is a good thing for the Chinese team. After all, it is better to fight on their own doorstep than to play in other countries.

……

In the conference room.

The Chinese team did not take it lightly because of its consecutive victory in the exhibition. Instead, it held a review meeting the day after the game.

Specifically for some minor mistakes made when facing England, review after the game.

Ye Xiu held the document in his left hand and pointed at the big screen with his right hand. As the head coach, he naturally had to lead every review.

As the commander in the battle against England, Yu Wenzhou played the second most important role, supplementing some of Ye Xiu's words in the review.

In this way, Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu were talking on the stage, and the players were listening carefully. They felt that Sun Xiang was mentioned. He was present this time. Although he did not play in the match against England, he ran over and listened carefully to the review.

Of course, it may be that because he did not play in this game, Sun Xiang was not worried that Ye Qiuhui would say something unpleasant to him, so he did not miss it.

But having said that, Sun Xiang only missed that one training session, and he never missed another unexcused absence again.

Ye Xiu hasn't had a good talk with him about this matter yet, maybe he is planning to find an opportunity to talk to him about it later.

Half an hour later.

"Ah..." Huang Shaotian stretched, "It's finally over."

The faces of the others also looked more or less tired. After the three rounds, their three undefeated victories made them feel a little relieved. As long as the group played steadily in the second half of the three games, they would be able to enter the knockout round. A sure thing.

Just when everyone was about to leave and take a nice nap, Ye Xiu suddenly added:

"Oh, by the way, one more thing." One more thing?

Why does this sound weird?

Yi Tianming recalled the image of "Dad" in his previous life, and now that these words came out of Ye Xiu's mouth, it was really strange.

"I will send the ranking status of other groups to the group later. Please pay attention to receive it." Ye Xiu said, "Although there are still three games before the knockout rounds, everyone can make preparations in advance."

"Understood." Everyone responded in unison, and then dispersed.

Yi Tianming and Chu Yunxiu returned to their residence and took a pleasant nap before clicking on the list Ye Xiu mentioned.

However, what surprised them was that Ye Xiu actually posted it directly in the Glory player group, which caused other players to bubble up and talk to each other in the group, making the news 99+.

"I thought...he would create a special group!" Chu Yunxiu cursed.

"It should save trouble. After all, this list is not a secret." Yi Tianming said.

"That's right." After hearing this, Chu Yunxiu didn't worry too much about the group, but clicked on the list Ye Xiu sent.

"Brazil, Argentina, Netherlands, Japan, Germany, Italy, France, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Wales, Uruguay, Belgium." Yi Tianming read out the names of the countries on the list, "In addition to our Chinese team With England in the same group, these are the top two teams in each group."

"Where is the United States?" Chu Yunxiu looked at these names and asked habitually.

"In the American group, there are two strong teams, South Korea and Germany. It seems that the situation is not good. They are ranked fourth in the group, even beaten by Iraq." Yi Tianming looked at it and explained.

"Succumbed to Iraq?" Chu Yunxiu wanted to laugh.

Yi Tianming also scratched his head. After all, the international situation between the United States and Afghanistan has always been relatively tense. This is not an obscure matter.

Perhaps for some reason, in the last game, the players of the Iraqi team played extremely fiercely against the American team, as if they were inspired by some kind of family and country feelings in their blood. In the price difference that is several times higher, Under such circumstances, they actually played an upset game and defeated the American team.

However, after all, glory has nothing to do with politics. No matter what competitive event, once it is linked to politics, it will lose its original meaning.

"It's a pity." Yi Tianming shook his head, and then continued: "After the group stage is over, lots will be drawn again, which means that before this draw, no one knows which opponent they will face in the knockout round. "

"Then the task of studying the opponent will become much more arduous..." Chu Yunxiu pouted.

"Draw one at random, take your time, um... Let's study the German team today." Yi Tianming ordered his troops, and then he picked the German team.

"Okay, let's get started!" The two quickly devoted themselves to tactical research.

In addition to tactical research, we also conducted some research on the inheritance of human civilization. The specific process is briefly...

……

The sun was scorching, and it was the end of July, the hottest time of the year.

There are only twos and threes of pedestrians on the street. In fact, they choose to go out for fun at this time. They are either couples or people traveling. Most people rarely go out to bask in the sun at this time, unless they think they are not dark enough.

Wouldn’t it be delicious to eat watermelon and drink Feizhai Happy Water at home?
...

Glory headquarters.

Because the top management is discussing together on the topic of which city the two home games will be played in the next three group matches.

Previously, everyone chose City B as their home court, but soon someone suggested that they had already played one game in City B when they played against England, so there is no need to specifically use City B as a fixed home court. You can choose other cities, which can promote the game. The development of the city is, secondly, an explanation for other Honor fans.

If they all choose to play in City B, it will be very difficult for fans other than Tiny Herb fans to buy tickets.

But...except for City B, which two of the other ten cities to choose has become a problem again.

After all, there are only two opportunities to play at home in the group stage. It is impossible to favor one and ignore the other.

"I think it would be better to make K City lively first." One of the senior executives suggested.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Questions soon came up.

"After all, Baihua has just won four consecutive championships. This is unprecedented in the history of Glory. Baihua fans are currently in a fanatical stage. Now, playing in K City can mobilize the passion of Baihua fans to the greatest extent. It’s like giving them a response.”

"What if other teams have ideas?"

"This is easy. Isn't there a knockout round later? When the knockout round is over, it's not too late to go to other cities!"

As soon as this suggestion was put forward, it quickly gained support from the majority of people, so K City was designated as the host of the next home game. Glory officials also quickly contacted Baihua Club to make all preparations, including ticket sales. , receiving players, pre-game publicity and a series of other tasks.

Baihua Club is of course happy. This will not only increase the popularity of the team, but also bring certain economic development to the local city. Maybe the local government will provide certain financial support for this.

Looking at it this way, Honor official profits, Baihua Club profits, and local cities will also profit due to the increase in passenger traffic.

A win-win situation for the three parties! Everyone can make money.

However... it seems that fans have to spend money, but it cannot be said that they are losing money. After all, the game is for them to watch, and all ticket purchases are based on the principle of voluntariness and will not be forced to buy or sell.

As for the city of the second home court, it is decided to be in City H. This choice is also very simple. First, Happy is in this city, and Happy, as the runner-up last season, naturally has to have the proper ranking. Secondly, H City has developed very rapidly in recent years. Many Internet celebrities have settled and developed in this city. If an international competition with high traffic like Glory can be held, the popularity of the event will increase again.

As for the city selection for the knockout rounds, Honor officials have not decided yet. After all, there are still three games in the group. If the home venue for the knockout rounds is decided now, it will feel like "opening champagne at half time".

As we all know, champagne is not allowed at halftime.
