I'm a striker

Chapter 554 The Lottery Ceremony
Adriana Lima.

The hostess of tonight's FIFA Awards Ceremony.

As a supermodel, she has absolute confidence in her figure, and her V-shaped dress on the chest makes her two round hemispheres ready to come out.

Without exception, all the men at the scene had their eyes fixed on her chest for at least three seconds...

The awards ceremony tonight is really lively!

The excitement is because of Song Rentou, right?

Lima couldn't help but take another look at the Chinese kid. He looked very handsome in a suit and leather shoes today.

Lima has recited his legendary story several times, but she still can't believe that such a not very strong player can mess up the world football so much.

And before his debut, Lima didn't even know that the Chinese could play football...

Today's Zurich Opera House can be described as a gathering of celebrities, and countless passing stars all gathered here. First of all, the alien Ronaldo, one of the representatives of Brazil hosting the World Cup, came to report on the work of the Brazil World Cup.

Then the ball king Pele expressed his expectations for Ronaldo and Brazil.

Then Blatter took the stage and made a corny summary of the work of FIFA this year...

This year's awards ceremony has an additional task and content, which is why so many celebrities are present today.

Because the head coaches and their assistants of the 32 national teams that have won tickets for the World Cup in Brazil came to the scene.

Song Rentou just greeted Gao Hongbo.

"Such a strong lineup... I can't imagine that if a terrorist dropped a bomb here, it is estimated that world football would be paralyzed." Gary Lineker joked.

Before the World Cup draw ceremony, Blatter also continued to invite Ronaldo, and the aliens introduced the rules of the draw.

Song Rentou also looked at his idol very curiously, he is really too fat now...

Ronaldo explained with a smile: "First of all, our top 32 will be divided into four pots. Except for the European theater, teams from other continents will not repeat themselves in the group stage."

As Ronaldo explained, Lima, the hostess beside her, also helped explain.

After everyone knew the rules of the lottery, there were voices of discussion in the venue, because FIFA divides the teams according to their own rankings...

So this also made it very likely that the death group will qualify this year.

"I hope your national team can be assigned to a relatively good group." Wenger also blessed Song Rentou.

Song Rentou nodded, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi looking at him.

That meaning seemed to be telling myself: Don't draw with us!

Although the overall strength of the Chinese team is still very weak compared to these world powerhouses, the uncertain factor of Song Rentou still makes everyone want to avoid China as much as possible.

What the group stage seeks is stability.

The former Dutch legendary star Gullit also announced the World Cup classification for everyone.

The teams in the first tier are: the host Brazil, the defending champion Matador Spain, the German chariot Germany, the Pampas Eagles Argentina, the new South American force Colombia, the European Red Devils Belgium, the former world football hegemony Uruguay and the progressive pole. Fast Switzerland...

"This World Cup grouping is based on the FIFA rankings and continental conditions, so these eight teams are the so-called 'seed teams'." Song Rentou thought to himself.

The second tier of teams will also be released soon: Tulip Corps Holland, Apennines Concrete Italy, Gallic Rooster France, Portugal led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic's Viking Sweden, Bosnia and Herzegovina, who participated in the World Cup for the first time, Plaid Corps Croatia, the next World Cup host Russia.

The teams in the third tier are: Three Lions England, Bielsa's offensive team Chile, African Elephants Côte d'Ivoire, Plateau Lions Ecuador, African Brazil Ghana, North African Lions Algeria, African Eagles Nigeria, African Lions Cameroon.

"No wonder it is said that the death group has a high probability. It turns out that Wilshere and Walcott were assigned to the third tier...it's terrible." Song Rentou thought to himself.

The teams in the fourth tier are: the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, China, Japan, Australia, South Korea...

Sure enough, according to this situation, China will definitely be assigned to a group with at least two traditional strong teams unless it is very lucky.

"The World Cup is so strong. I feel like we can't beat anyone except the Asian brothers." Song Rentou laughed at himself. It's a pity that in the World Cup, except for Europe, other continents cannot be divided into a group!

After the World Cup classification ceremony, the hostess Lima also called Song Rentou's name. As a candidate for the Golden Globe Award, Song Rentou had to express his views.

First, his head coach Arsene Wenger and teammate Aaron Ramsey showed their blessings to him on the big screen, and hoped that he could win the honor of World Footballer tonight. Finally, his national teammate Huang Qijun asked a question : "What do you think the Chinese team can achieve in the World Cup?"

Song Rentou instantly became the focus of the audience, because Huang Qijun really asked this question very well.

"Well, we all know that you are the favorite to win the championship tonight. Before the draw ceremony, I think this prospect can be more authoritative, Mr. Song." Lima looked at Song Rentou jokingly.

Under the watchful eyes of so many legends, celebrities, and the top 32 coaches of the World Cup, Song Rentou replied with a smile: "First of all, I am very grateful to my teammates and coaches for their trust in me. The best player, but I think standing here is everyone's recognition of me. As for what my national team can achieve? To be honest, I really want to say that we want to play seven games."

Song Rentou's words quickly made the audience laugh. Even Lima burst into laughter. She stood beside Song Rentou and motioned Song Rentou to continue.

"Dreams are always beautiful. I think the teams that can participate in the World Cup must have dreams. I think we can achieve the best results as long as we can play every game well." It was also a courtesy applause.

Song Rentou, who returned to his position, immediately received text messages from Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

"Dude, I wish we weren't in a group!"

After the interview with Song Rentou, one of the candidates for the Golden Globe Award, the hostess also introduced the scene. Next, the French legend Zidane, the Portuguese legend Figo and Gullit will present the first file for everyone. Teams are put into the groups where they should be.

The atmosphere in the audience quickly became tense.

"Colombia!" After Gullit stirred the ball in the jar for Figo, Figo pulled the ball out.

On the other side, Zidane drew out the group where Colombia is located: Group C.

The next draw will be very soon, Brazil Group A, Spain Group B, Uruguay Group D, Switzerland Group E, Argentina Group F, Germany Group G, Belgium Group H.

The first-tier pick didn't make everyone feel nervous.

But then, with the appearance of Cannavaro, Bergkamp and Rijkaard, everyone was very nervous.

Because this is the critical second gear!

Group A of Croatia, Group B of Netherlands, Group C of Sweden, Group D of Italy, Group E of France, Group F of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Group G of Portugal and Group H of Russia.

After the second tier is drawn, the thing that people are most worried about will not happen. The super group of death should not appear, but the group of death is still possible. It depends on which group England will be assigned to.

In charge of the third draw is the British national team coach Hodgson, Wenger and Ronaldo...

When Cameroon was assigned to Group A, Song Rentou had already seen the smile on Ronaldo's face, because it meant that the strongest team in Brazil's group was probably Croatia...

Chile was assigned to Group B, Côte d'Ivoire to Group C, and then Hodgson personally drew his England into Group D, which already had Uruguay and Italy in the death group!
The British media all smiled wryly, what about the lucky group?

Ecuador was drawn into Group E, Nigeria in Group F, Ghana in Group G and Algeria in Group H.

After the third draw, there were joys and sorrows, but everyone except England was in a good mood.

But it doesn't seem to be the case.

Because there are still teams in the fourth tier that no one wants to meet.

The Chinese team with Song Rentou...

The scene was very lively, some were calculating, some were thinking, and of course most of them were paying attention to the last lottery draw.

The people in charge of the fourth draw are Inzaghi, Ginola and Ronaldo who continue to draw.

When Ronaldo smiled and took out the ball, the hearts of the entire Chinese fans hung in their throats.

"Where to tear down (China)!" Ronaldo smiled and pulled out the Chinese team's small ball.

In front of the TV, countless Chinese fans are looking at the right hand of the old handsome Italian Inzaghi.

Will it be the hand of God?
Inzaghi smiled after pulling it out. He knew that the most nervous people on the scene were Hodgson, Prandelli and the Uruguayan coaches...

If China is assigned to that group again, it will be really difficult to fight.

"Group A!" Inzaghi said with a smile.

Now the whole world laughed.

Because according to the regulations, the opening game of the World Cup is played by the seeded team against the team in the fourth tier.

The Chinese team is in the fourth gear, so the opening game of the World Cup in Brazil is determined!
Brazil VS China!

"It's Brazil again, shit!!" Countless Chinese fans remembered [-].

The opening game, this is too difficult to play, right? It's a five-star Brazil?

The Brazilians don't think it matters, the other teams in this group pose no threat to them.

Be it China, Croatia, or Cameroon, the five-star Brazil is not England, and they are the hosts, so this grouping makes sense.

Next, other teams were assigned to their own groups one after another, so the group stage and schedule of the [-] World Cup in Brazil were completed in an instant.

Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Cameroon, China.

Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Australia.

Group C: Colombia, Sweden, Côte d'Ivoire, Japan.

Group D: Uruguay, Italy, England, Costa Rica.

Group E: Switzerland, France, Ecuador, Honduras.

Group F: Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Nigeria, Mexico.

Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States.

Group F: Belgium, Russia, Algeria, South Korea.

(Attentive readers must have noticed that Xiaoxiang has changed the grade, after all, it is a novel! How can it be the same as reality, it will lose all the fun!)
The schedule of the Chinese team is also out, June NO.13, China will face Brazil in Maracana, and June NO.19, the Chinese team will face Cameroon at the Amazon Arena.

On June 24th, China will face Croatia, the last opponent in the group stage, in Recife!
All the Chinese fans seem to recall the plan to win against Costa Rica in [-], lose to Brazil, and draw with Turkey...
