The Ball at Your Feet

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

After all, the World Cup is a major event. Therefore, the national team is also very well prepared. Everyone knows in their hearts that it is very difficult for a person to play the World Cup several times. It is good luck to be able to meet. Even if it is destined, it is difficult to perform well, but it is still a national concern.

What's more, the grouping of the Chinese team 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 good: First, the African team that the team needs to face is Togo-Zhao Yaning still heard about the Togo team, although they were in the preliminaries of the world. Ten wins, seven wins, two draws and one loss, but when Adebayor talked about the Togolese national team, his evaluation was not very high. Although the overall strength of the African teams is not as good as that of Europe and South America, there is no shortage of strong teams, at least , Zhao Yaning would still feel a headache if he meets a team like Ivory Coast. However, Togo is not a traditional strong team in Africa. Their strength is relatively weak. Even, they are playing the World Cup for the first time, 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. The Swiss team Zhao Yaning doesn’t know much, so he has to say something about it-he knows well about Switzerland’s main defensive star Senderos. This player is regarded by Wenger as a defensive star, but at Arsenal last season. , He has been bullied by Drogba and has developed a'Drogba phobia', which can be regarded as a typical product of failure fueled by the seedlings.

However, club games and national team games are two different things. Zhao Yaning doesn't think that things will be the same in the national team. Although the overall strength of the Swiss team can't be said to be very good, it can not be underestimated if it can stand out in the European division.

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 time the World Cup team qualified, the last time the 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 a big problem. They played extremely badly in two consecutive competitions in 2002 and 2004, and they received a lot of contempt.

Moreover, France is now underestimated for many reasons: Zidane has already made a declaration to retire after the World Cup. If this is said, it is difficult to say what he can still play. Although this half of the season, he played extremely well, but this is after all the veteran's last moments of madness, he can play in the World Cup, naturally aroused a lot of speculation. And this time the World Cup, the overly conceited Domenech also refused to take Pires to Germany, and the reason given was that Pires was not in harmony with his own horoscope-such a nonsense team would naturally not be favored.

It is understandable that some coaches have a characteristic preference or dislike for certain players: Inzaghi's national team career has almost been playing soy sauce, and Harvey was still sitting on the bench until 2004. Some coaches want to show their iron handsome demeanor, it is very possible to find one or two people to start, but the real iron coach, looking for trouble is also for the reason of tactical incompatibility, or the stab in the team, and this way It’s really unheard of to make trouble with astrology as an excuse.

Zhao Yaning played in France for three years, and he was more supportive of the French when it came to winning the World Cup. But even so, he didn't know what to say about Domenech-Domenech refused to take it this time, besides Pires, there was also Giuli. The two main wingers of the champions and runners-up who reached the Champions League final have all lost the national team. That is to say, the French team has a solid foundation and can withstand the toss. Even without them, there are also a group of excellent wingers who play in France such as Malouda, Ribery, and Govou. They can be replaced by other teams. Who dares to act like this?

Pires was fired because of the constellation problem, and Jiuli was fired because of the woman problem.

Although Jiuli just won the Champions League and his performance was extremely eye-catching, he was the same person Domenech would not take. In fact, there is only one reason: because Jiuli didn't know what was wrong in his head, he wanted to seduce Domenech's girlfriend. In fact, he had only met the woman once, and he began to send messages to seduce the other person. Naturally, Domenech would not tolerate such a thing, and he immediately expelled him from the French team.

A player was expelled from the national team for seducing the coach’s girlfriend. This kind of thing, even if it can’t be said to be the last, is at least unprecedented.

"My that is true love, you don't understand it."

When contacting Jiuli, Jiuli didn't care about it. Zhao Yaning can't help but speculate maliciously: Isn't he intentional? Maybe he played the national team game just to get angry with Lyon manager Lacombe, right? Lacombe said that he would definitely not be able to play ten games with the national team, and when Giuly retired from the national team, he played 11 times for the French national team...

However, Jiuli’s thing is certainly not right, but it can also be seen that Domenech is not strong enough. A head coach with enough personal charm will never worry about this kind of trouble, right? Let alone those famous and charismatic coaches, even ordinary coaches cannot have this kind of nonsense. However, Zhao Yaning did not dare to easily conclude on such a thing: The French are so instinct, and Platini is notoriously attractive, and hasn't he been given a green hat by his teammates?

This is actually an important reason not to be optimistic: the French team's veterans dominate, most of which are very difficult to manage. They play football, the most important thing is not how to plan a reasonable tactic-a group of old football skins, no one will easily go wrong, tactics are of secondary importance-their most critical problem is that A very good leader can unite them and lead them to the championship.

In 1998, 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 they will be doubted about their strength, and this also makes Zhao Yaning wonder how to evaluate their strength. However, in any case, they always receive less attention than other teams.

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

Brazil naturally goes without saying. With Kaka, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo and Adriano, they are known as the dream quartet. Their strength makes Robinho, Juninho and others. A large number of players on the ballon squad can only live on the bench. The Brazilians seem to be 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's World Cup title.

In the past two years, Argentina has been hailed as “the second in the world”. The reason for saying this is that they always lose to Brazil. Since Brazil is the number one in the world, the Argentines also feel that in addition to Brazil’s Besides, they don't have any opponents, so they are naturally second in the world.

And again, it is England, once again crowned the strongest name in history. However, England at this stage is really not bad, their strength is still quite good. Although the strongest in history and the strongest in the world may not necessarily go hand in hand, there is absolutely no objection to saying that this is a top ten team in the world. From the book point of view, 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 a bit weaker than in 2002, it is still correct to say that they are a strong team.

Apart from them, the big favorite is Italy.

If the lineup is strong, they are also extremely good. A world-class defense, and there is also a world-class midfielder. Although the forward line is slightly worse, there are Totti, Piero and others, and there are also this year’s European Golden Boot winners, breaking the dust of Serie A. Tony, who has been in the 30-ball spell for many years, has excellent strength, not to mention that their head coach Lippi is probably the best coach in the top 32.

But the problem is that the current Italian team can be said to have been smashed. The phone call has caused a quarrel in European football. Under such an influence, how far Italy can go is something that no one dares to pack votes.

Without being divided into a group with these four teams, the luck of the Chinese team is still quite good.

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

In the Iranian group, Portugal, Mexico, and Angola. Although they dare not say that they will win when they meet Portugal and Mexico, they can fight for a draw if they meet anyone. Needless to say, Angola has been in civil war before 2002. This is the first time they have advanced to the finals. Not to mention that they even participated in the World Cup qualifying for the first time. The difference in experience is unique in the world. , Iran and them are in a group, if you are lucky, you can qualify.

Japan is in the same group as Brazil~www.ltnovel.com~Australia and Croatia. Brazil naturally doesn’t need to think about it, but Australia is not necessarily better than Japan. Croatia is now even more unreliable, almost relying on a Pulsau to support it, and Japan’s promotion is not without a chance—in fact, the Japanese think about it. higher. The slogan they shouted is to join hands with Brazil to qualify for the group, and then strive to eliminate Italy and challenge the quarter-finals.

Such a slogan made Zhao Yaning a little bit unable to help but think of the slogan of the Chinese team in 2002. It seems that they are accustomed to crazy, not just the Chinese.

In Saudi Arabia’s group, strong teams such as Spain are naturally unable to challenge, while Tunisia is a strong team in Africa, but it is not known how strong it is. The last European team is Ukraine-this team also qualified for the finals for the first time. Circle, whether it can go far is not easy to say.

Although South Korea got on the last bus to the World Cup after a lot of noise and competition, it was obviously pitted by FIFA. They are divided into Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire, South Korea, and the Netherlands. Zhao Yaning estimates that unless Germany becomes the land of the Koreans and dreams of every game back to 2002, otherwise, they are probably not allowed to go home directly.

Luck is still very good, this situation is not bad at all. Whether you can play a good card in such a good game is all up to you.
