The Strongest Demon Front

When FIFA President Infantino and Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared together at the Kremlin Concert Hall in Moscow, the much-anticipated draw ceremony for the 2018 Russia World Cup group stage officially kicked off.

The eyes of fans from all over the world are gathered here.

Especially Chinese fans.

What is different from previous years is that the number of Chinese fans paying attention to the World Cup group draw this year is much more than before, even more than ten times.

The live broadcast of the World Cup group draw ceremony will be carried out simultaneously on China's major sports stations, major satellite TV stations, CCTV's 1, 2, 4, 5 and English channels. Tens of millions (some say more than 100 million) Chinese people watched the live broadcast of the lottery ceremony at the same time.

The scale is unprecedented.

It’s as if this year’s Spring Festival Gala has been advanced three months.

This is the World Cup that Chinese fans are most enthusiastic about participating in.

Due to the promotion of the national football team, Russia's domestic tourism popularity has remained high in recent times, and the introduction of Russia's land and customs has become a popular program on major TV stations. Countless people are waiting for the World Cup group draw to be over, and then they can start arranging their itineraries to go to Russia to watch the World Cup in person next year, to watch Chu Ge and his teammates participate in the World Cup.

Many people did not go to the World Cup in Japan and South Korea due to various reasons, thinking of waiting until the next World Cup in China to go.

Who knows, this wait will last for sixteen years.

This time, you can't miss it again.

There are only a few sixteen years in life to squander. Who knows that the next time China enters the World Cup, it will be in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon of the Horse?

Moreover, after 2000, China's national power grew rapidly.

Compared with those years ago, more people have the experience of traveling abroad.

Leaving whenever you want is no longer a romance for literati and petty bourgeoisie, but has become a way of life for countless "post-wavers".

Even if there is no World Cup, Chinese aunts have already bought it all over the world. This time, with the attraction of the World Cup, Russia has naturally quickly become the first choice for many people to travel abroad next year.

Of course, not everyone has the time or conditions to go abroad to watch one or several football matches.

But this did not affect their enthusiasm for this World Cup.

After a lot of effort, your national team finally made it to the World Cup, so you have to support it; even if you can't go to watch the game live, prepare your time, watch a few live broadcasts on the TV, and have a good time with a few friends, and you will be filthy and bald. It is also one of the joys of life.

Like countless Chinese people, Chu Ge's parents were also waiting by the TV on time to watch the World Cup draw in the Kremlin.

"I hope our son can draw a good lottery."

Chu Jianan murmured to himself while watching Putin deliver a welcome speech to the guests.

His words represent the wishes of all Chinese fans.

After finally entering the World Cup, everyone hopes to avoid the death group where strong teams gather, and everyone hopes to be drawn into a weaker group.

Just like all teams are hoping to draw China.

Huaxia gift package, whoever opens it knows.

…

The TV commentator introduced the various rules of the lottery.

First, there is the classification of each team.

The ranking of the top 32 teams is based on the FIFA rankings on October 16. The host country, Russia, and the top seven teams form the seeding teams in the grouping. The other teams are divided into second, third and fourth tiers based entirely on rankings.

China is undoubtedly the fourth tier.

In fact, the four teams in Asia that qualified for the World Cup (including Australia) are all fourth-tier teams. Only Iran is in the third tier.

The specific classification of the thirty-two teams was displayed on the TV screen.

The commentator is still lamenting that the United States, Chile, Wales, Netherlands and Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup, while Chinese fans have already begun to calculate the "best group" of the Chinese team.

Soon someone will announce the "correct answer".

First team: Poland or Russia.

Second tier: Switzerland or Peru.

Pot 3: Iceland was elected with a high vote, and Tunisia can also be considered.

The fourth tier is China.

Then they began to discuss which of the six teams in the first three tiers were most similar to each other, and which team China was most likely to beat.

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Then a consensus is reached:

They would all like to be in the same group as China.

Because China is the biggest fish belly...

This world is really too real.

…

Chu Ge is also paying attention to the group drawing.

He also created a group and brought in some familiar friends to discuss the lottery together.

There are his Manchester United teammates, such as Mbappe, Pogba, De Gea, Rashford, etc.; there are also his former teammates, such as Brozovic, Perisic, Modric, Cristiano Ronaldo, Madrid, etc. Cello, Ramos, Ronaldo, etc.; there are also some friends, such as De Bruyne, Neymar, Zidane, Mancini; and some of their friends brought in by these people, such as Reus, Den Pele, Griezmann, Eriksen, etc.

It can be regarded as a gathering of stars and big names.

Everyone chatted casually together, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

Chu Ge once considered bringing in friends such as Ibrahimovic, Icardi, Nainggolan, Van Dijk, and Benzema.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

It might be a little awkward to talk to them about the World Cup.

…

Soon, the lottery ceremony officially began.

The celebrities came on stage and started drawing lots.

The first is the seeded teams.

Russia, as the host, is undoubtedly in Group A.

Then from Group B to Group H, the seed teams of each group were drawn separately, namely Portugal, France, Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Belgium, and Poland.

Except for Poland and Russia, the other six teams in the seed team are all favorites to win this cup.

There are also several teams that are favorites to win the championship, such as Spain, England, and Croatia, which are not in the first tier. The group of these three teams will most likely become the group of death in this World Cup.

After the teams in the first pot are drawn, it is the group drawing of the teams in the second pot.

The atmosphere became relatively tense.

Even the big-name stars in Chu Ge's group couldn't help but start to speak less.

The guests who drew lots continued to draw lots.

The results are revealed one by one.

Spain is assigned to Group B.

Croatia is in Group D.

England enters Group G.

Ronaldo was silent.

He is in the same group as many of his Real Madrid teammates, which is not good news for Portugal.

Magic Flute was not in a good mood either.

His Croatia are in a group with Messi and company.

Rashford @heartlessly @De Bronay.

"Happy football, happy Premier League!" he said.

Debrone smiled back.

England will meet Belgium in the group stage.

Chu Ge did not speak for the time being.

He looked at the three groups and felt that it was safest for this group not to speak.

If you accidentally send your team into these three groups, you will really be yelling at them every day, crying at the end of the day, and shouting until your throat is broken, and you will not be saved.

…

In the Chu Ge group, the discussion started to get heated.

After the draw of the first two groups of teams, the "opponents" they were about to encounter began to hate each other one after another, which was very real.

For these big-name stars, what they care about is basically the top two teams.

It is almost difficult for the teams behind them to catch their eye.

certainly.

Everyone likes Huaxia.

These "buddies" are no exception.

They all hoped that Chu Ge would be in the same group as them.

Chu Ge thanked them all and silenced those who strongly expressed that they wanted to be in the same group as him.

One minute.

…

During the discussion among the friends, the third-tier teams were also drawn one by one.

It’s the most nervous moment for Chinese fans.

"Don't be placed in the Portugal or Spain groups. If you are placed in this group, you will basically be beaten to death."

"Brothers ahead, please be more confident and remove the word basic!"

"Double-tooth group rbq, rbq."

"Argentina and Croatia are also very strong teams. I remind you, don't look down on Croatia!"

"In Argentina's group, the third group is Iceland. Is that okay? The group of Germany and Mexico is even worse. The third group is Sweden! Sweden did not recruit Ibrahimovic, but they entered the World Cup themselves. They are very strong!"

"What are you talking about: Portugal, Spain, Argentina, Germany? Doesn't our great empire deserve a name? England and Belgium are a dead end!"

"Why do I feel like there are death groups everywhere? It's so difficult for me in China. Uh-huh-huh..."

On the Internet, fans were discussing nervously.

The grouping ceremony continues.

The fourth team drawn first is Saudi Arabia.

With that, the first complete group emerged.

Group A: Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Uruguay, Russia.

Immediately afterwards, there is the second fourth-tier team.

Morocco.

Seeing this name, Huaxia fans breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Ge also breathed a sigh of relief.

Group B is the group that Shuangya belongs to.

Followed by South Korea in Group C, Nigeria in Group D...

As one team after another is drawn, fewer and fewer teams remain, and fans are getting more and more nervous.

The person who broadcast the lottery ceremony live on CCTV was He Wei.

The guest is Zhang Lu.

Both men began to sweat.

The Chinese fans in front of the TV were more nervous than the two hosts.

…

finally.

When football king Maradona showed the camera that "China" was drawn out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then took a breath.

China was placed in Group F.

…

"Chu, I didn't expect that we were in the same group."

Kroos @Chu Ge.

Chu Ge: "..."

Group F: Germany, Mexico, Sweden, China.

"Haha. Don't worry, we will help you kill Mexico and Sweden when the time comes!" A Kuan continued to speak unabashedly.

Without any scruples, Little Wandou also secretly observed in the group.

This is also Cross' character.

This German has always been outspoken and said whatever he thought. Sometimes he seemed very straightforward, and sometimes he made people laugh and cry, and his emotional intelligence was lowered.

Little Rocket Royce looked at Chu Ge’s name in the group.

He smiled.

He, like Cross, is very satisfied with this grouping.

However, he was not very familiar with Chu Ge, and Royce was a bit shy in character, so he did not speak.

Also silent was Hernandez.

There are too many big-name players in the group, and Little Pea seems to have no sense of existence.

but.

Chu Ge took the initiative to @leave Royce and Hernandez out.

" @Kros, @Reus, @Hernandez, see you on the court then. I hope it will be a wonderful game, and we will meet again after the game lol"

"Definitely next time." The friends replied one after another.

…

After the results of the group lottery came out, there was no doubt that it once again topped the domestic hot search list.

All major media have begun to analyze the grouping situation of the World Cup.

If China hadn't advanced, Group B in this World Cup would still be Portugal and Spain, and it would be the focus of everyone's discussion.

In addition, Group D, where Messi is located, and Group G, where England and Belgium are located, will also attract a lot of traffic.

However, all the Chinese media and Chinese fans are discussing the same group now, which is Group F.

Germany.

Mexico.

Sweden.

China.

"Germany is undoubtedly the strongest in the group, and they will definitely lock in a place."

"Mexico and Sweden are also very strong. Mexico has performed very well in every World Cup. Sweden is a traditional strong team in Eastern Europe. They are tall and strong, and they play with a strong sense of power. They happen to be the ones we play in China. The nemesis of football style.”

"This group is too difficult! Such a grouping is clearly meant to kill us! A shady secret! A shady secret!"

"Let's be realistic. Which group are we in? We're going to die. You have to be tough when you're trying to make iron. Alas!"

"It's such a pity. We obviously have such a good player as Chu Ge. The whole world is envious of us for having Chu Ge, but other players are not good enough. What should we do? I feel aggrieved for Chu Ge."

"Egypt is actually similar. Their whole team is counting on Salah, just like we are counting on Chu Ge."

"Everyone, be realistic and don't think about those who have something or not. We are in this group, and we are destined to be eliminated in the group. So, our only hope is, is there a chance to get into one? As long as we get into one, we will win this World Cup. No loss at all!”

"Goal? Do you think Neuer will give in, or look down on Ochoa? The Swedish goalkeeper may be less famous than Neuer and Ochoa, but do you think we got through half the game against Sweden?"

"It's too difficult! It's too difficult! God, just give us another Chu Ge. I'm not greedy, just give us one more. One is really not enough!"

…

There are Chinese fans wailing everywhere.

Entering the World Cup is a carnival for fans.

However, what happens after entering?

All opponents are huge mountains for China.

Chinese football has been weak for too long.

Also entered the World Cup in 2002.

Japan and South Korea have made great progress since then.

Even though their grouping in this cup is not ideal, their fans still have hope for their team.

South Korea was divided into France and Denmark.

Japan's situation is slightly better, but Poland and Colombia are also in the group.

Facing a strong team, Japanese and Korean fans unanimously shouted slogans to cheer for the national team and strive to qualify from the group.

For Chinese fans, even scoring a goal for their national team has become a luxury.

Doesn’t this kind of contrast cause people to reflect?

You know, the best players in Asia are in China...

"Why is this happening?"

…

"Why is this happening?"

Su Qingqing was asking Chu Ge.

Chu Ge shook his head.

He actually wasn't confident enough to answer this question.

What he knows is that after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, relying on the stimulation of the World Cup, Japan and South Korea have unanimously vigorously developed football, and more young people have devoted themselves to this sport.

Campus football in Japan is in full swing.

More and more Korean international players choose to go abroad for development.

At the same time, Chinese football also attracted many young people to join.

Under the influence of the World Cup, there are many more football training classes and football training camps in the country. Football schools are springing up everywhere.

For a time, there was a prosperous scene.

If this continues, the Chinese football environment will get better and better, the players will become stronger and stronger, and entering the next World Cup should happen soon.

However.

The subsequent story is familiar to old fans.

Gambling is rampant and black whistles are frequent.

Even those excellent referees who have been dubbed "Golden Whistle" have been involved in one scandal after another.

Those were the five lost years of Chinese football.

It was also the five years that fans stayed away from the team.

Although the general environment improved later, Chinese football missed the best opportunity for development. The plummeting reputation has caused young people to stay away from football. Chinese football has lost its hematopoietic function, and naturally it is further and further away from the World Cup.

China's World Cup dream has become a "lifetime" series among fans.

Until a strong man falls from the sky.

Until Chu Ge turned out to be.

"I just hope that this World Cup can really improve the domestic environment, not just a shot in the arm." Chu Ge said to Su Qingqing.

This is what he has always wanted.

It is his responsibility and responsibility as a Chinese.

This is why after he became famous, he has been entrusting Su Qingqing to help him sponsor various football matches in the country and strive to develop youth campus football.

A flower blooming alone is not spring;

The garden is full of flowers blooming in spring.

That's why in the locker room after the game, he said to that person, "Everyone's hard work will make it better."

Many media interpreted this sentence as Chu Ge's modesty.

They believe that Chu Ge owes the team's promotion success to all his teammates.

Not really.

Chu Ge knew very well, including that person, that China's promotion was actually an accident.

It was Chu Ge's power that changed history.

He is the superhero of Chinese football.

He lifted China into the World Cup with one person.

What Chu Ge really wanted to express was actually hidden behind that sentence.

Chu Ge believed he understood.

Because, some new football policies are being implemented one after another as the national football team is promoted.

Even though it is under the guise of National Fitness.

"We will get better and better."

Chu Ge was more convinced than ever.

Promoting changes in the environment can sometimes give people a greater sense of accomplishment than one or two personal successes.

not to mention,

Regarding this World Cup grouping, Chu Ge did not feel despair.

Germany?

Mexico?

Sweden?

Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have the seed!
