How cruel is Allegri?
It can be seen from the starting lineup of this game.
Long Shute was suspended, Kaka and many other main players were on a collective rest. The old captain Ambrosini led a group of substitutes to face Ajax. There were even two players from the U18 youth training team on the bench...
This group of substitute players really wants to win and prove themselves in front of the coach and fans, but with their strength, even if they sit at home, they may not be able to beat Ajax, who is united as one, not to mention that Allegri is still interested. Inadvertently emphasized to them:
"Friendship first, competition second, the most important thing is participation, don't get hurt..."
Moreover, because he was worried that Ajax would not be able to score, Allegri also dispatched the "backward striker" Bonera in the second half, preparing for a suicidal lore at the last moment...
Fortunately, Ajax was very upbeat, and Bonera, the big killer, still didn't make a shot in the end, which also made this tacit goal not too obvious.
-
Although AC Milan lost the game, Allegri still did not feel ashamed. Instead, he gave the players a day off to recover their physical fitness and adjust their state.
Long Shute rarely did his daily training, but lay on the sofa in the living room of his mansion at noon and turned on the TV.
-
"Friends from the audience, good evening everyone, I'm Duan Yixuan."
In China thousands of miles away, Duan Yixuan, dressed in a suit, sat upright:
"Although it is late at night, I believe there must still be many viewers waiting in front of the TV, because in 30 minutes, the draw ceremony for the final stage of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil will be held in Brazil.
Compared with the past, this draw is bound to attract more attention, because in this World Cup, 13 billion Chinese people will no longer be just spectators, and our national team will also participate 31% in it, competing with [-] other world powerhouses! "
Sitting next to him were his female colleague Weng Xiaomeng, and two guests Zhang Lu and Xu Yang. All four of them had professional smiles on their faces, showing no signs of exhaustion from late-night work.
Not only was there no fatigue, everyone's face was full of excitement and excitement, even the female anchor who didn't understand football and seldom participated in football match reports was no exception.
"The last time the Chinese team entered the World Cup, I just graduated, and it has been 12 years in a blink of an eye," Weng Xiaomeng accidentally exposed his age. "Being able to enter the highest stage of football competition in the World Cup again proves that Chinese football In recent years, we have made great progress. Our FIFA ranking has risen from 81st three years ago to 22nd today. We have also won three championship trophies in the East Asian Cup, Asian Cup, and Confederations Cup, which is particularly eye-catching. Yes, the Chinese team has produced a world-class superstar. I believe that the entire Chinese team can unite closely around the captain Long Shute, play their own style, and play their own level..."
Long Shute, who was sitting in his mansion, shook his head with a smile.
Is the current CCTV already carrying the sedan chair for itself so openly?
Of course, he definitely deserves such an evaluation! -
"First, let me introduce the division of the 32 teams..."
After chatting for a while, Duan Yixuan finally got back to the topic:
"According to the FIFA rankings in October, the 10 teams in Pot 8 are:
Host Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Uruguay, Spain, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland.
The second tier consists of teams from Africa and South America:
Algeria, Cameroon, Chile, Côte d'Ivoire, Ecuador, Ghana, Nigeria.
Teams in the third tier come from Asia and Central and North America, and the Chinese team is also in this tier. In addition, there are Japan, Iran, Australia, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Honduras.
Pot [-] is all European teams:
Netherlands, England, France, Italy, Portugal, Russia, Greece, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the teams will be drawn into the second pot.
What do you guys think about the upcoming draw?Will there be a group of death with strong dialogue? "
"Hey, it's still very possible."
Zhang Lu smiled:
"The classification rules for this session are different from the previous ones, especially the teams in the fourth tier are not inferior to the seeded teams in the first tier. According to the principle of avoiding the same continent, the first tier of the death group must be There is a strong South American team, but Brazil is the host, and they will definitely not dig a hole for themselves, so they can only choose Argentina. In order to create a lively atmosphere, Portugal is the second tier. Messi’s opponent is of course Ronaldo , The third gear is for Japan, hehe, I choose England for the fourth gear, as we all know, England and Argentina are feuds, there are too many stories in it..."
Amidst their lively discussion, the drawing ceremony was finally approaching.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter and the Brazilian female president delivered speeches respectively. After a fancy song and dance performance, Ronaldo, the official ambassador of the World Cup in Brazil, appeared on the stage, and the draw officially began.
In addition to Ronaldo, eight famous football players including Zidane, Hierro, Mateus, Cafu, Hurst, Cannavaro, and Higgia also appeared on the stage as guests of the lottery. Under the intense gaze of the audience, the 32 teams were divided into corresponding groups one by one.
Group A: Brazil, Cameroon, Mexico, Croatia.
The host really put himself into a relatively comfortable group.
Group B: Spain, Chile, Australia, Netherlands.
The focus of this group may be how the champion and runner-up of the last World Cup score against the other two teams.
Group C: Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, China, Greece.
When the Chinese team fell into this group, Duan Yixuan and others let out a cheerful laugh:
"This should be a good sign. There are no super teams like Germany, Brazil, and Argentina in the group. Every team has a chance to qualify!"
Group D: Uruguay, Italy (drawn into Pot 2), Costa Rica, England.
This group is the one that most resembles the group of death, and England, which has always collapsed in major competitions, looks the most likely to be eliminated...
Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, Honduras, France.
The Gallic Rooster is probably going to kill in this group...
Group F: Argentina, Nigeria, Iran, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Argentina has not been drawn into the death group, and their opponents are even weaker than the other. The club king can probably breathe out the anger of being eliminated from the Champions League and score goals in these teams!
Group G: Germany, Ghana, USA, Portugal.
Messi's fans couldn't help laughing, they were looking forward to Ronaldo's Portugal being ruthlessly crushed by the German chariot!
And Ronaldo fans can only shake their heads and sigh, they can only pin their hopes on Portugal being able to score enough points in Ghana and the United States.
Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, Japan.
Although Belgium has been gaining momentum in recent years, it still has not officially entered the ranks of the rich. In the eyes of most people, this group is probably still a group of rookies.
"As we said before, the Chinese team has drawn a good lottery."
The smile on Duan Yixuan's face grew stronger:
"I just took the time to check Weibo. Chinese captain Long Shute happened to update a message. Let's take a look at what he said together?"
The background quickly switched the screen, and a picture was clearly displayed on the screen.
Long Shute posted a picture of the Chinese team's opponents in the group, and then added a very simple comment:
"It seems that we have to stay in Brazil for a few more days. I hope our teammates won't complain that the weather in Brazil is too hot."
Zhang Lu smiled "hehe":
"It seems that he is already thinking about things after the Chinese team qualify..."
