Chapter 475 Hell-level grouping of the Confederations Cup
After a few opening interviews, the Confederations Cup draw ceremony finally began. After the live broadcast changed to the scene, Yang Mo was finally able to relax the expression he had been holding.

The 2013 Confederations Cup draw ceremony was held at the Arnabi Convention and Exhibition Center in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The screen cut to the venue, and Liu Jianhong, as the host, began to introduce to the audience.

Compared with those large award ceremonies, the Confederations Cup draw ceremony is quite simple. Represented by Kaka, a member of the Brazilian team that won the sixth Confederations Cup in 2009, the Confederations Cup trophy is placed on the stage first. on stage.

The Confederations Cup trophy is a very young trophy, cast in Switzerland in 1997.

It is golden in color, and its shape resembles the World Cup. Coupled with the rules of the event, it is called the Little World Cup.

After the trophy was returned, the draw officially began, and the host of the FIFA awards first announced the eight shortlisted teams.

Host Brazil, European champion and World Cup champion Spain, Asian champion China, Central and North American and Caribbean champion Mexico, South American champion Uruguay, Oceania champion Tahiti, and African champion Nigeria.

And because Spain advanced as the World Cup champion, the European Cup runner-up Italy team automatically filled the promotion.

In this list, the weakest ones are undoubtedly Tahiti and the Chinese team.

Oceania Champion Taci is a semi -amateur team. The FIFA is now ranked 138th. Participating in the Federation Cup feels more about participation.

The Chinese team dragged forward under the weight of Yang Mo. The FIFA ranking surpassed the highest 1998 in 37, and entered the top 27 of the FIFA ranking for the first time, ranking [-].

If the national team hadn't lost several warm-up matches when Yang Mo wasn't around, I'm afraid this ranking could move up one or two places.

Just from this ranking, we can see how important Yang Mo is to the Chinese team.

Without Yang Mo, the Chinese team has been hovering at the bottom of the top 70 all year round, but Yang Mo has improved the Chinese team by more than [-].

It's no wonder some netizens said that if the strength of the Chinese team is 9, then Yang Mo alone will account for [-] points.

But after talking about these two weaker opponents, looking at the other six opponents, whether it is the host of the studio or the fans who got up early in the morning to watch the draw ceremony, there is only deep sadness.

Spain, European Cup, World Cup double champion, FIFA ranked first team.

There is no need to explain whether the Brazilian team is strong or not. Italy, Mexico, Uruguay, listen to the name, which one is not the world's top team.

None of their rankings were outside the fifteenth place.

Before the lottery began, the Chinese team was destined to fall into a hell-level group, and there was no way to avoid it.

"I think that in the face of these world-class teams, our Chinese team only needs to show style and confidence in the game, focus on training, and don't carry too much psychological burden. What do you think, Yang Mo?"

Before the lottery, Liu Jianhong consciously found a step under the Chinese team and spoke a lot of empty words.

Yang Mo heard his words and smiled bitterly, thinking that the old boy was really ghost.

And you can just talk, what are you doing with me, what can I feel?
Except for Tahiti, unless other teams release water, the Chinese team is sure to win which one.

To be honest, he felt that if he went to the Confederations Cup to play a round, at the level of the national team, he might not be able to compete in style and confidence, and he would definitely lose confidence in being played.

But this kind of truth obviously cannot be told in the live broadcast, so he smiled wryly in his heart, and then made up nonsense.

"Mr. Liu is right. In fact, Coach Lippi and I have also discussed the Confederations Cup before. We agreed that the Chinese team's going to the Confederations Cup is mainly with a learning attitude and training for the World Cup in advance. , It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose, the most important thing is to experience the atmosphere of the World Series.”

As soon as Yang Mo finished speaking, Duan Xuan slapped the table next to him and said, "That's right, the national team needs this kind of mentality, so that they can recognize their own problems from actual combat."

Yang Mo nodded again and again, "Well, I would like to say something in advance here, I hope that friends from the media and fans of the Confederations Cup will not put unrealistic goals and pressure on the national team. The gap still exists, and we must objectively acknowledge this fact.”

Yang Mo's words were considered a preventive shot. Before the Confederations Cup in the province started, some media and fans who were not clear-headed thought that the Chinese team should win the Confederations Cup.

After a few people chatted, the host of the lottery ceremony introduced the lottery rules, and the lottery officially began.

The eight teams are divided into two groups A and B in the Confederations Cup. First, the host Brazil team was put into Group A, and then World Cup champion Spain was put into Group B.

Next, due to the principle of avoiding the same continent, the Italian team could not meet the Spanish team, so it was directly divided into Group A.

The top two in Group A are Brazil and Italy.

"This group A can't enter."

As soon as Duan Xuan said this, everyone in the studio nodded, even Yang Mo was no exception.

Although he has no hope for the Chinese team's results in the Confederations Cup, it is a step to go one step further. Of course, it is best to qualify for the group stage.

Although Brazil and Italy rank lower than Spain and Uruguay, they are indeed extremely difficult teams for the Chinese team.

Brazil's offense, the Chinese team can't stand it, but Italy's defense is extremely restrained by the current tactics of the Chinese team.

But when Yang Mo thought this way, Group B had already drawn the second team, Uruguay.

With a wry smile, Brazil and Italy are not easy to play, and now Spain, ranked No. [-] in FIFA, and Uruguay, No. [-], are easy to get along with each other.

After the second team was drawn from Group B, it was the turn of Group A to draw the third team.

The lucky draw guests took out the small ball from the container, and after opening it, the words CHINA suddenly appeared on the broadcast screen.

I really want to play whatever I want.

"The Chinese team has been drawn. We will be in Group A, with Brazil and Italy. This group is too difficult." Liu Jianhong said helplessly.

Next, the lottery took Taciidia into Group B, and then pulled Mexico into Group A.

When Mexico appeared, the remaining Nigeria automatically entered Group B.

For the Chinese team, Mexico's entry into Group A is definitely bad news.

Brazil, Italy, Mexico, this is a hellish grouping.

At the end of the show, Yang Mo couldn't help but said: "This is not an easy grouping, let's compete with a learning attitude."

As soon as the group draw came out, even Yang Mo found it difficult, so the domestic media, who had just regained some confidence in the national team, suddenly felt mournful.

The media is like this, not to mention the comments from online fans, all kinds of monsters and ghosts popped up all at once.

"For 100 yuan, the Chinese team is definitely a three-day tour of the group stage."

"Hey, there is no hope. No one can beat this group. It would be great if we were assigned to Group B."

"There is no play in Group B. Spain, Uruguay, and Nigeria are all hard stubble."

"Please, why are you so discouraged? Do you really think that the national team can win the Confederations Cup?"

"That is, if you can't beat Thailand, you can't beat South Korea, and now you can't beat Brazil, should Italy also be criticized? When did the Chinese team become so good?"

"Some people are champion fans, pseudo -fans, and this result has begun to swell!"

"Didn't some people say that Yang Mo is awesome, if he is really good, he will lead the Chinese team to win the championship?"

"The upstairs is stupid, don't you know that football is played by eleven people?"
