In order to expand the influence of the European Cup around the world, after a unanimous vote by the member states, the dust finally settled. They will follow in the footsteps of the World Cup: expand the army, the finals will be changed from 24 teams to 32 teams, and the increased 8 Two places were given to Asia, Africa, South America, and North America in the name of invitation. The purpose is obvious, that is, to strengthen the influence comparable to the World Cup.

The expansion will begin in 2032 when Poland and the Czech Republic jointly host the European Cup.

Due to the addition of eight places, two places are distributed from each of the four continents by invitation.

Therefore, the European Cup Committee implemented the military expansion before the lottery grouping, and immediately issued invitations to the four continents.

The Chinese team was lucky to be among them, and this surprise came a bit suddenly.

No. The 11th Xingmeng Cup has just ended, and the invitation letter for the European Cup will be received immediately. Of course, the Chinese team will not give up this opportunity.It will be an honor to reply immediately.

The European Cup Committee set the 8 invited teams to be uniformly assigned to the fourth pot, so that they are just assigned to the eight groups and will not be in the same group.

Along with the Chinese team, Australia, South Africa, Cameroon, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and the United States were also invited.

The 24 teams in Europe are divided into three pots.

Pot [-]: France, Spain, England, Italy, Germany, Netherlands and hosts Poland and Czech Republic.

Pot [-]: Belgium, Norway, Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal, Croatia, Ireland, Iceland,

Pot [-]: Russia, Wales, Denmark, Ukraine, Austria, Turkey, Bulgaria, Finland.

2032欧洲杯将在8月6号举行，3月9号将举行分组抽签仪式。

It happens that the Chinese team does not have many tasks this year. We are the hosts of the 2034 World Cup, so we don’t need to participate in the World Cup preliminaries. We can go all out for this year’s European Cup.

There are still five months left, and the grouping is about to be released, and everyone still has time to study the opponents of the group.

March 3th is a day worthy of the attention of many fans. The European Cup group draw ceremony will be held in Warsaw, Poland.

In the end, the Chinese team was drawn into Group D, which included Italy, Belgium, and Ukraine.

Check out all the groupings:
Upper half:
Group A: Poland, Iceland, Russia, Mexico

Group B: Spain, Sweden, Bulgaria, Argentina

Group C: Netherlands, Norway, Turkey, South Africa
Group D: Italy, Belgium, Ukraine, China
Lower half:
Group E: Czech Republic, Switzerland, Wales, Cameroon

Group F: France, Ireland, Austria, Australia
Group G: Germany, Portugal, Denmark, Brazil
Group H: England, Croatia, Finland, USA
There are no underdogs in the European Cup. This is the consistent impression of everyone. Every group is full of breath of death.

As soon as the group came out, the Chinese fans still cheered, because our nemesis, the French team, was assigned to the lower half.

Don't think too much, this is the European Cup, we still have to keep our feet on the ground, whether we can break through the two traditional European teams, Italy and Belgium, is still unknown, and the Ukraine team is not a vegetarian either.

After the grouping, in addition to studying the opponents of the group, we also need to find the warm-up team according to the opponent's style.

In the end, the three warm-up teams were locked as Germany, Ireland and Croatia.



In addition to the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, the Jin Xiangyu generation focused more on preparing for the European Cup.

The on-the-spot training task was handed over to Coach Zeng, and the saint was not idle. He needed to study the opponent, hoping to know himself and the enemy.

"Dong dong..."

"Come in!" The saint was looking up information in front of the computer, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, he didn't even look up, knowing who was coming.

"Master!"

"Don't feel guilty, you've done a great job." The sage was still searching for information intently.In fact, he knew who was coming from the sound of footsteps.

"Master! Sorry, I plan to leave the team."

"why?"

"I feel more talented with basketball."

The saint finally stopped his hands and stood up: "Your jumping is very good, but you lack competition experience. This is what I know in my heart. One competition does not mean anything, and the future is the most important thing."

"Master! Thank you for the cultivation over the years, but I can release myself more on the basketball court." Liu Lei has been feeling guilty since he lost the championship. If it wasn't for the team spirit, he really didn't want to return to Xingmeng.Because in the past few years, although he did not become a leader in the CBA, he can occasionally play off the bench.The feeling of speeding on the basketball court is so yearning for him.

The saint was silent for a moment: "Okay! If you want to come back in the future, we welcome you at any time!" Liu Leizhi was not here, and the saint did not force him to stay.Everyone has their own ambitions, and I hope Liu Lei can make a breakthrough in the CBA.

"Thank you Master!" Suddenly Liu Lei knelt down and kowtowed three times to thank Master for his cultivation.

"Be a teacher for a day and a father for life. Children, wake up! Everyone has their own dreams, go for it!" Although the saint disciplined them very strictly, in the hearts of his disciples, he was the reborn parent. The saint changed their original Belong to ordinary life.

"Master! Take care!" Liu Lei got up and left after speaking.

The teammates are still training on the court, Liu Lei intends not to disturb everyone, and is going to leave without saying goodbye. He is packing his luggage in the dormitory.

"Liu Lei! Liu Lei!" It was Coach Zeng's voice. There was one person missing on the training ground, and he couldn't escape Coach Zeng's eyes. He came to urge Liu Lei to join the training camp as soon as possible.

"Hey, Liu Lei, what's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?" Coach Zeng came to the dormitory and saw that Liu Lei was a little sullen and busy, so he hurriedly asked.

"Director Zeng, thank you for your concern over the years, I'm leaving."

"Let's go, where are you going? Have you transferred?" Coach Zeng was taken aback. Liu Lei suddenly wanted to leave without warning.

"No, I decided to go back to CBA."

"You really want to give up football. No matter how many people want to join our team, you can think about it."

"I'm only going to hold you back here."

"Liu Lei, don't be emotional. We didn't blame you in that game. The French team is too strong. We are all convinced when we lost to them. We have no complaints. Don't take it to heart." Coach Zeng also understood , Liu Lei must still feel guilty about that game.

"Director Zeng, I want to ask you something?"

"Say it! Say it!" Coach Zeng mistook him for a change of heart.

"Please wait until I'm gone before telling the brothers."

"This, this..." It turned out that Liu Lei wanted to leave without saying goodbye.

"I don't want to affect everyone's emotions." Liu Lei put his luggage on his back and prepared to leave with a suitcase in his hand.

"Liu Lei, why don't you think about it?"

"I have bid farewell to Master, Director Zeng, take care!" Liu Lei left quietly without saying goodbye.

Coach Zeng looked at his back and could only pray in his heart for him to have a smooth journey.
