Brazil, Bahia State.

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

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

At this time, nearly a thousand reporters appeared at the gate of the lottery ceremony. When they saw Dong Fangzhuo appear, 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 has not won the Golden Globe Award, once, second and second, twice. There may not be a chance to open this year, because Messi and Ronaldo are still rising, but the gap between him and the two of them is not big.

But the data is a scam. Although his goal data is not as high as those two of them, his overall data has not declined and remains at its peak. In 2012, he handed in 40 goals and 35 assists, and in 2013, he handed in 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 verified data. The Golden Ball Award in 2012 was taken away by Messi, who scored 93 goals, and was taken away by Ronaldo in 2013. Ronaldo scored 73 goals and led the team to defeat Sweden in the play-offs.

He is actually still impeccable, but his goal data is slightly lower than that of Melo, but his assists are already the only one in the world, and he is the first indisputable one.

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

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

"I think it's not just me, but Messi and Ronaldo will maintain their peak state for many years. If you don't believe it, you can wait and see."

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

"First try to qualify in the group, and hope to draw a good group."

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

"I think Germany's Mueller is also a potential candidate."

"The national team is different from the club, and players with strong national teams have more advantages."

"Who do you think may end up winning this year?"

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

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

"Is there any show 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 entered the final stage, namely China, Japan, South Korea and Iran. The final strength is naturally China. The Chinese team won the third place in the best Asian team in the World Cup in the last World Cup. The Chinese team was still highly expected in this World Cup. Compared with four years ago, the Chinese team is more mature. However, the third place seems to be the limit...

The video was played before the ceremony, expressing nostalgia and tribute to Mandela who had just passed away.

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

Ronaldo said on the court: "For me, organizing the World Cup is harder than scoring 18 goals in the World Cup, and we are confident that we can host the best World Cup to date."

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

The king of football Pele also made a speech: "I believe in Brazil. I think they will enter the finals. I will never forget that when the host lost the game, I saw my father crying. In this World Cup, I don't want the children to see me cry."

Dong Fangzhuo, who was standing beside them, gave them a few minutes of silence in his heart because he knew that Brazil was fucked by Germany 7:1 in the semi-finals, setting their worst record of failure in the World Cup...

Of course, he could not tell them the result, and even if he said it, they would not believe it.

"Do you think this year's champion is Brazil?" The host suddenly said.

ha?

Bailey quickly covered his mouth and almost fell into the trap. He could say that Brazil reached the final, but he could never say that Brazil was the champion.

"I have no idea……"

As the most famous Crow Mouth, Pele certainly would not curse his country. In fact, he could have drawn for the World Cup, but he refused, and the reason for his rejection was that he was worried that he would bring bad luck to Brazil.

The dignified football king Bailey dares not joke about the fate of his motherland.

The king of football Pele has a well-known nickname "Crow Mouth" because when he predicts competitions, he often shows that he will be eliminated if he is optimistic about anyone, which is ridiculous.

In various world competitions, Bailey is happy to make predictions, which adds a lot of fun to off-court. His predictions have also attracted people's preferences and dislikes. However, what they usually like is his opponent who is optimistic about the team, but what they hate him is the team he is optimistic about. Some people who participate in gambling are even aiming at Bailey. As long as Bailey predicts who will win, it will be right to bet on his opponent to win. After all, Bailey's "crow mouth" success rate is still quite high.

Pele's reputation as "Crow Mouth" has a long history, so early that it is hard to tell when it was truly famous. As early as the 1994 World Cup, Pele publicly claimed that Colombia was a strong contender for the championship, but Colombia failed to qualify from the group. Colombia defender Escobar died shortly after returning to China because of his own goal. Since then, Pele's reputation as "Crow Mouth" has become even louder.

In the 1996 European Cup, Pele expressed optimism for Turkey and Italy to win the championship, but both of these teams died in the group stage. In the 1998 World Cup, Pele's reputation as "Crow Mouth" was already impressive, and all teams were afraid of being favored by him. As a result, Spain unfortunately became the prey of "Crow Mouth" and died tragically in the group stage. In the 2004 European Cup, Pele strongly supported England in the knockout round of the UK and Portugal, but Rooney was injured at the beginning and England lost the penalty kick; it was still in the 2004 European Cup final, Pele was optimistic about Portugal, which turned out to be the Greek team's dream of winning the European championship.

Pele is not only "black" but also his hand draws very "black". In the 2006 World Cup group draw, he drew the Netherlands team, Côte d'Ivoire, Seychelles, and Argentina to become the group of death. In fact, Pele himself had known that his mouth was "toxic". Later, when he predicted Brazil's game, he said that his opponent would win, and this method was tried and tested. For example, in the 2002 World Cup, Pele began to shut up and not say that Brazil would win the championship, and he always expressed his support for Brazil's opponents. As a result, everyone knows, Brazil finally won the championship...

Finally, it was Dong Fangzhuo's turn to go on stage to speak.

"I think Bailey can actually predict the results."

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

There was a burst of laughter in the stands.

Then Pele also took the initiative to stand up and said, "No, no, no, I think China is the 2014 World Cup champion of Brazil."

Wow~, there was another burst of laughter in the stands.

"Thank you, thank you."

"I think there is a little possibility for us...I can be sure that the Chinese fans in front of the TV must be paying close attention to you..."

Dong Fangzhuo also smiled, but the Chinese fans who were sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast started to scold him.

"My grass, Bailey."

"My grass, my grass, there was still a little hope, but now there is no hope. Dong Fangzhuo, you shouldn't make Bailey joke."

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

...

Everyone's faces were covered with a thick layer of shadow.

To be honest, Chinese fans have indeed fantasized about the World Cup championship. Who doesn’t fantasize about it? As long as you have the strength, you should be full of longing for the championship. The Chinese team is at least the third place in the last World Cup and almost entered the finals.

Nowadays, the Chinese team hasn't been afraid of any team...

"Ahem, get back to the point, first of all, I want to wish Brazil a perfect World Cup, nothing more perfect than holding a World Cup in the Football Kingdom. I hope China can also hold a World Cup in the future, and I hope the whole world will focus 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 has participated in the competition. With Dong Fangzhuo, the probability of the Chinese team applying for the World Cup is quite high. In recent years, Dong Fangzhuo has been working hard for China to bid for the World Cup.

After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, China has the hope of hosting the World Cup in 2022.

"We Chinese fans' love for football is the same as that of the Brazilian people, and there is no difference."

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

Well, Dong Fangzhuo has been canvassing votes on the spot.

...

After that, the draw officially began.

Fifa Secretary-General Valke presided over the draw, with eight former champion team representatives and Dong Fangzhuo as guests, namely Hirst (England), Cannavaro (Italy), Mattus (Germany), Zidane (France), Jero (Spain), Cafo (Brazil), Sygia (Uruguay), and Kempes (Argentina). The 86-year-old Sygia appeared on a crutch and scored the winning goal in the 1950 World Cup championship game.

The 32 teams will be divided into 8 groups, with 4 teams in each group, and the top 2 teams in each group will enter the top 16 knockout round. The host Brazil is ranked as seeds with Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Uruguay and Switzerland, which ranked in the top 7 in the world in October this year (first level); 5 African teams and 2 South American teams enter the second level; 4 Asian teams and 4 Central and North American and Caribbean teams enter the third level; the fourth level is 9 European teams, including the only new face Bosnia and Herzegovina draw. The draw ensures that each group has a maximum of 2 European teams, while other teams on 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 is 8 teams. The drawn European team will definitely meet one of the eight European teams in the fourth gear and be in the same group as one of the four South American seed teams. Hurst drew the ball, but it was not announced immediately. Then Kafu draws the first gear, and Brazil automatically enters the a1 position as the host. Other seed teams decide their group through lottery and automatically enters the first place in this group. They are Spain (b1), Colombia (c1), Uruguay (d1), Switzerland (e1), Argentina (f1), Germany (g1), and Belgium (h1).

Then it decided which South American seed team was in the same group as the second European team. Zidane drew Uruguay, and the second European team was Italy, and Italy entered the D group (d4). Then it drew seven non-European teams in the second division, and the two South American teams Chile and Ecuador could not be in the same group as the first division, and the other two teams were each in their place. Croatia, who drew a 2 position, would be the opponent of Brazil's opening match.

Dong Fangzhuo personally came to draw the third team, and I was in his hands the fate of the Asian team. The first one to be pulled out was South Korea, who was thrown into Group B.

The moment the lottery was drawn, the whole of Japan scolded Dong Fangzhuo.

"Dong, you bastard! Your stinky hand!"

"The Chinese are so bad. Are they doing things?"

"Bagaya Road, Bagaya Road!"

“…”

The reason is very simple, because there are defending champions Spain, uncrowned kings of the Netherlands, and South American powerhouses, which is equivalent to Chile with half of the home court. Isn’t the Japanese team coming into this group just to play soybeans?

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." Dong Fangzhuo held back his smile, and he really drew the most tragic sign for the Japanese team, the Death Group!

Then he reached out and pulled it out again.

“china.”

There was cheering in the audience, and the Chinese team was laughing.

But Dong Fangzhuo's second draw was China, and China fell into Group C!

Japanese fans scolded even louder.

"Shad, shady! Absolutely shady!"

"Why?"

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

Mama Mia!!!
