Chapter 1066 The Draw Results of the 2014 Brazil World Cup

Brazil, Bahia Riviera.

Dong Fangzhuo was interviewed before the draw ceremony of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The day before, he had just celebrated his 29th birthday.

Today, he appears here as a World Cup lottery guest and World Cup ambassador.

At this time, nearly a thousand reporters appeared at the gate of the lottery ceremony. When they saw Dong Fangzhuo appearing, they immediately surrounded him.

"Dong, you are 29 years old this year. Do you feel that your condition has declined?"

The first question is quite tricky.

Yes, he is 29 years old this year. In the previous three years, he did not win the Golden Globe Award, finishing second once and third twice. It may not be a good start this year, because Messi and Ronaldo are still improving, but the gap between him and them is not big.

But the data is deceiving. Although his goal data is not as high as the two of them, his overall data has not declined and remains at the peak. In 2012, he handed over 40 goals and 35 assists. In 2013, he scored 40 goals and 35 assists. , he handed over 45 goals and 37 assists, which is crazy data.

But there are not as many goals as the other two perverts. In this era, it seems that most goals are based on verification data. In 2012, Messi won the Ballon d'Or with 93 goals, and in 2013, he was Ronaldo took it away. Ronaldo scored 73 goals and led the team to defeat Sweden in the play-offs.

In fact, he is still impeccable, but compared to Melo, his goal statistics are slightly lower, but his assists are already unique in the world, and he is the undisputed first.

"Does my condition seem to be declining? I can still play for ten years."

Dong Fangzhuo's answer was sonorous and powerful, "Where did you see my condition decline?"

"I think not only me, but also Messi and Ronaldo will remain at their peak for many years. If you don't believe me, you will have to wait and see."

"What is the Chinese team's World Cup goal in 2014?"

"First try to qualify from the group, and hope to get a good group."

"It is possible to win the top scorer in the World Cup for three consecutive times this year. Do you think the biggest opponents are Messi and C Roma?"

"I think Muller from Germany is also a potential candidate."

"It's different in the national team and in the club. Strong players in the national team have an advantage."

"Who do you think will win the championship this year?"

Dong Fangzhuo smiled, remembering the results of his previous life.

"Maybe Germany, maybe Argentina, maybe Brazil? The Netherlands is also good."

“Is there any drama in China?”

"Ah hahaha, you are so good at joking, let's find a way to qualify in the group first!"

…

In this World Cup, only four Asian teams have entered the finals, namely China, Japan, South Korea, and Iran. The final strength is naturally China. In the last World Cup, the Chinese team achieved the third best result among Asian teams in the World Cup. In this World Cup, the Chinese team still has high hopes. Compared with four years ago, the Chinese team is more mature. . But third place seems to be the limit...

A video was played before the ceremony started,

Expressing remembrance and tribute to Mandela who just passed away.

The Secretary General then gave a speech, followed by Ronaldo, another World Cup ambassador.

Ronaldo said when he came on stage: "For me, organizing the World Cup is more difficult than scoring 18 goals in the World Cup. We are confident that we can host the best World Cup so far."

"I have hoped that my motherland could host the World Cup since I was a child. This year this dream can finally come true. I hope we can win the World Cup at home."

Football king Pele also came on stage and gave a speech: "I have no doubts about Brazil. I think they will enter the final. I will never forget the 1950 World Cup final in Brazil. When the host country lost, I saw my father crying. This time The World Cup, I don’t want the kids to see me cry.”

Dong Fangzhuo, who was standing next to them, silently mourned for them in his heart for a few minutes, because he knew that Brazil was beaten 7:1 by Germany in the semi-finals, creating their worst defeat record in the World Cup...

Of course, it was impossible for him to tell them the result, and even if he told them, they wouldn't believe it.

"Do you think Brazil will be the champion this year?" the host said suddenly.

ha?

Bailey quickly covered his mouth, almost falling into a trap. He can say that Brazil has reached the finals, but he absolutely cannot say that Brazil is the champion.

"I have no idea……"

As the most famous crow's mouth, Pele certainly would not curse his country. He actually could have drawn a draw for the World Cup, but he refused, and the reason he refused was because he was worried about bringing bad luck to the Brazilian team.

Even the mighty football king Pele doesn't dare to joke about the fate of his motherland.

Pele, the football king, has a well-known nickname "Crow's Mouth" because when he predicts big games, he often predicts who will be eliminated, which makes people laugh.

In various World Series, Pele is willing to make predictions, which adds a lot of fun to the off-field. His predictions also attract people's likes and dislikes, but usually those who like him are his optimistic team's opponents, and those who hate him are His is the team he is optimistic about, and even some people who participate in betting are targeting Bailey. As long as Bailey predicts who will win, it is right to bet on his opponent to win. After all, Bailey's "crow's mouth" success rate is still Quite high.

Bailey's reputation as a "crow's mouth" has been around for a long time, and it's hard to say exactly when he became famous. As early as the 1994 World Cup, Pele publicly declared that Colombia was a strong contender for the championship. As a result, Colombia failed to qualify from the group. Colombian defender Escobar was shot by a mob shortly after returning to his country for scoring an own goal. Since then, After that, Bailey's reputation as "crow's mouth" became even more famous.

In the 1996 European Cup, Pele expressed his optimism for Turkey and Italy to win, but both teams died in the group stage; in the 1998 World Cup, Pele's "crow's mouth" reputation was already so powerful that every team Afraid of being favored by him, Spain unfortunately fell prey to the "crow's mouth" and died tragically in the group stage; in the 2004 European Cup, Pele strongly supported England in the British-Portuguese knockout match. As a result, Rooney was injured at the start of the game and England lost a penalty kick. Defeat; or in the 2004 European Cup final, Pele was optimistic about Portugal, and the result was that the Greek team's European championship dream was realized.

Bailey not only has a "black mouth", but his hand in drawing lots is also "black". In the 2006 World Cup group draw, he drew the Netherlands team to become the group of death together with Côte d'Ivoire, Serbia and Montenegro, and Argentina. In fact, Pele himself has long known that his mouth is "poisonous". Later, when predicting the game in Brazil, he said that his opponent would win. This method has been tried repeatedly. For example, in the 2002 World Cup, Pele began to keep his mouth shut and refused to say that Brazil would win the championship, and always expressed support for Brazil's opponents. As everyone knows, Brazil finally won the championship...

Finally, it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to take the stage to speak.

"I think Bailey can actually predict the outcome."

"He can say that Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Argentina, and France are the champions, and the effect will be very good..."

There was laughter in the stands.

Then Pele took the initiative and said, "No, no, no, I think China is the 2014 Brazilian World Cup champion."

Ouch~, there was laughter again in the stands.

"thanks, thanks."

"I think we have a slight possibility...I am sure that the Chinese fans in front of the TV must be paying close attention to you..."

Dong Fangzhuo also laughed, but the Chinese fans sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast cursed.

"Fuck you, Bailey."

"Oh no, no, no, there was a little bit of hope at first, but now there is no hope at all. Dong Fangzhuo, you shouldn't tease Bailey to make this joke."

"It's over, it's over, what should I do?"

…

Everyone's face was covered with a thick shadow.

To be honest, Chinese fans do fantasize about the World Cup championship. Who doesn’t fantasize? As long as you have the strength, you should be full of longing for the championship. After all, the Chinese team was third in the last World Cup and almost entered the finals.

These days, the Chinese team is really not afraid of any team...

"Ahem, let's get down to business. First of all, I want to wish Brazil a perfect World Cup. There is nothing more perfect than hosting a World Cup in the Kingdom of Football. I hope China can also host a World Cup in the future, and I hope the world will pay attention to it. All focused on China.”

In fact, China is already taking action. Before the opening of the 2014 World Cup, the venue for the 2022 World Cup will be announced, and China will participate in the competition. With Dong Fangzhuo here, the probability of the Chinese team applying to host the World Cup is still quite high. In recent years, Dong Fangzhuo has been working hard for China to apply for the World Cup.

After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, China hopes to host the World Cup in 2022.

"We Chinese fans have the same love for football as the Brazilian people. There is no difference."

"I also hope that all the judges can vote for China."

Yes, Dong Fangzhuo is already canvassing for votes on site.

…

After that, the draw officially begins.

FIFA Secretary General Valcke presided over the draw, and representatives of eight former championship teams and Dong Fangzhuo served as guests, namely Hurst (England), Cannavaro (Italy), Matthäus (Germany), Zidane (France) , Hierro (Spain), Cafu (Brazil), Higgia (Uruguay), Kempes (Argentina). The 86-year-old Higia, who appeared on crutches, scored the winning goal in the 1950 World Cup final.

The 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups, with 4 teams in each group, and the top 2 teams in each group will advance to the top 16 knockout rounds. The host Brazil and Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay, and Switzerland, the top seven in the world in October this year, are listed as seed teams (first pot); 5 African teams and 2 South American teams enter the second pot ; 4 Asian teams and 4 teams from Central and North America and the Caribbean entered the third pot; the fourth pot included 9 European teams, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, the only new face in this draw. The draw guarantees a maximum of 2 European teams in each group, and other teams from the same continent cannot be in the same group.

The first step is to draw a team from the fourth gear and put it into the second gear, so that each gear has 8 teams. The drawn European team will definitely meet one of the 8 European teams in the fourth pot and be in the same group with one of the 4 South American seeded teams. Hurst extracted the ball, but there was no immediate revelation. Then Cafu draws the first pot, and Brazil, as the host, automatically enters the A1 position. The other seeded teams determine their groups through drawing lots and automatically enter the first place in this group. They are Spain (B1), Colombia (C1), Uruguay (D1), Switzerland (E1), Argentina (F1), Germany (G1), and Belgium (H1).

It was then decided which South American seeded team would be in the same group as the second-tier European team. Zidane drew Uruguay, and the second-tier European team was Italy. Italy therefore entered Group D (D4). Then draw 7 non-European teams in the second pot. The two South American teams Chile and Ecuador cannot be in the same group as the 4 South American teams in the first pot. The teams in the other two tiers have also taken their places since then. Croatia, drawn in A2 position, will be Brazil's opponent in the opening game.

Dong Fangzhuo personally came to draw the teams in the third pot, and the fate of the Asian teams was in his hands. The first one to be drawn out was South Korea, which was thrown into Group B.

The moment the lot was drawn, the whole of Japan was scolding Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong, you bastard! Your dirty hands!"

"The Chinese are so bad. Is this some manipulation?"

"Bagaya way, Bagaya way!"

"..."

The reason is very simple, because in Group B there are the defending champion Spain, the uncrowned king the Netherlands, the South American powerhouse, which is equivalent to Chile having half of the home field. Isn't the Japanese team falling into this group just to make soy sauce?

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." Dong Fangzhuo held back his laughter. He really drew the most miserable lottery for the Japanese team, the group of death!

Then he reached out and took it out again.

"china."

The audience cheered and the Chinese team was laughing.

However, the second one Dong Fangzhuo drew was China, and China fell into Group C!

The Japanese fans yelled even louder.

"Shady story, shady story! Absolutely shady story!"

"Why?"

"Why is Japan in Group B and China in Group C?"

Mamma Mia! ! ! !

Yes, the Chinese team is in a group with Colombia, Greece and Cote d'Ivoire. This is a relatively easy group.

In China, fans are also very excited.

"It's stable, it's really stable this time. Even after the group appears, the opponents in the knockout rounds are relatively weak... Tsk, tsk, Dong Fangzhuo is really lucky."

Subsequently, the Iranian team was drawn into Group E by Dong Fangzhuo. Iranian fans were not happy because the opponents in the same group were Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Nigeria... It seemed that there was no hope of qualifying?

Finally, Dong Fangzhuo threw South Korea into Group H.

Park Ji-sung and the Korean fans in front of the TV were crazy because they were in the same group as Belgium, Algeria and Russia.

It’s a big deal.

"Dong, good brother."

"Good luck."

Park Ji-sung gave Dong Fangzhuo a thumbs up in front of the TV, but for the first time, Korean fans did not scold Dong Fangzhuo.

At this point, all the draws for the top 32 are in place, and the groups are as follows:

Group A: Brazil, Croatia, Mexico, Cameroon

Group B: Spain, Netherlands, Chile, Japan

Group C: Colombia, Greece, Cote d'Ivoire, China

Group D: Uruguay, Costa Rica, England, Italy

Group E: Switzerland, Ecuador, France, Honduras

Group F: Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iran, Nigeria

Group G: Germany, Portugal, Ghana, United States

Group H: Belgium, Algeria, Russia, South Korea
