The results of the draw for the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian quarterfinals were announced yesterday, and this time the Chinese team has another share, but whether it can play well in the quarterfinals and reach the World Cup finals in Germany is another matter.

The mighty Iranian team and the 2004 Asian Cup winners Japan were drawn in Group B; In Group A, South Korea, who reached the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup, will face Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan and China for a ticket to the 2006 World Cup finals in Germany.

The draw for the quarter-finals will be based on the results of the 2002 World Cup, so South Korea and Japan are listed as Pot 1 teams, Iran and China are listed as Pot 2 teams, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan are Pot 3 teams, and Bahrain and North Korea are Pot 4 teams.

From the perspective of the grouping, the overall strength of Group B where Japan is located is undoubtedly stronger, Iran is a traditional strong team in West Asia, with a tough and tenacious style; Bahrain is also a fast-rising new talent, performing well in this year's Asian Cup, and also lost 2:4 to Iran in the semi-finals; As for the North Korean team, it is not surprising what kind of game they played, encouraged by their tenacious will.

In Group A, South Korea, who reached the semi-finals of the 2002 World Cup, looked a little easier, and the former hegemon Saudi Arabia has been reduced to an increasingly mediocre team, and they did not even reach the quarterfinals of this year's Asian Cup; Although the Uzbekistan team also appeared as a dark horse in this year's Asian Cup, the limitations of their own strength made it difficult for them to play at their own level in the face of South Korea.

As for the Chinese team that eliminated the Kuwait team, how to say it, the runner-up of this year's Asian Cup, in fact, has the strength to compete with any team, but playing South Korea, especially Koreanphobia, playing Saudi Arabia, it seems that it is always done, kicking Uzbekistan, and especially afraid that the opponent is too tough.

It's a habitual urine nature, and it doesn't seem to be easy to hit anyone anyway.

According to the current draw, the traditional four finalists of Asian football, South Korea, Japan, Saudi Arabia and Iran, will face a relatively easy task. The top two teams from each group will qualify directly for the 2006 World Cup finals. The winner of the two third-placed places will compete with the fourth-place finishers in CONCACAF for a place in the finals.

Teacher Qu Weiyuan said without hurry: "I think everyone's mentality is not good, and they suffer from gains and losses." When the draw just came out yesterday, many domestic media began to speculate, saying that even if the Chinese team won the third place in the group, it would have a chance to win the third place in Group B, and then fight with the Central and North American and Caribbean regions. In fact, how ridiculous is this idea? Why did the Chinese team finish third in the group? Even if you can't win the first place in the group, you can always fight for the second place in the group, right? What's more, it's because South Korea can't win, so it is necessary to break this curse. ”

Every time South Korea is invincible, hearing these words, Sun Jihai's shoulders shook inexplicably, and it seems that there are really a lot of shadows.

Dong Fangzhuo didn't react: "The mentality of playing the game should be calm and pragmatic, don't always think about the result, only after the game does we know, we play with psychological baggage every time, we do suffer from gains and losses, and we must not play well, South Korea is indeed very strong, and any result may occur, but we are stumbling against Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan, the results will definitely not be bad, sometimes, we think too much, and the result is worse." ”

"Xiao Dong, I really admire your mentality more and more, as if I am only nineteen years old, and you are only twenty-seven years old......"

Sun Jihai felt and said, maybe he has experienced too much darkness over the years......

"But the first away game against South Korea, that's the worst start......"

This......

Dong Fangzhuo remembered that in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the Chinese team was also the first time to fight the South Korean team away from home, and there was also an Uzbekistan in the group. The fate of the Chinese team is indeed not much, but these strong teams in Asia are already coincidental, and the coincidence is purely a coincidence of fate......

The first game of the quarterfinals is played away from South Korea, and the Chinese team is likely to lose the game, which means that after the first round, the Chinese team is likely to fall into the fourth place in the group.

It's really sad to think about it, with South Korea's strength in recent years, even if the same fierce Japanese team goes there, it is difficult to bargain. Thinking this way is not to undermine one's own confidence, but to think objectively and realistically.

However, the quarterfinals are a total of six games, and the winner is decided without saying a single game, so it's not terrible to lose a certain game, it's terrible to not play every game well!

After six games in a down-to-earth manner, what should be or what should be!

Coincidentally, Manchester United's draw for the Carabao Cup also came out.

Just like China meets South Korea, it is not that enemies do not get together.

The League Cup was drawn at home to the big rivals Arsenal.

Whoever is not good at pumping, draw Arsenal......

Arsene Wenger is still angry at Manchester United and is very disgusted with Manchester United, and when the Carabao Cup draw results came out, Wenger immediately bombarded him.

He said: "Arsenal want to play against any English team and they don't want to play against a team that relies on refereeing to take care of them to win. ”

Although it was not named, it was definitely Manchester United.

It's not easy for Arsenal these days, since losing away to Manchester United in the league, their results have been much worse, without the momentum they had before, the points were overtaken by Chelsea, and they have been in second place, while Manchester United are aggressive behind them, and they are in hot pursuit.

At this critical time, the team actually met Manchester United again.

Don't look at this encounter as a Carabao Cup encounter, but the significance is significant, if Arsenal can beat Manchester United again, then it may be a morale boost and the king will return.

And of course, if you lose the game again? I'm afraid I'm going to lose even my underwear, and this season is likely to end early.

Hearing Wenger's words, Ferguson immediately countered in front of the media: "Of course they don't want to meet us, because they are defeated and can never win against us. The weak are always afraid of the strong, they will always cry and cry, and it is very normal for them to have such thoughts. The result will be the same as last time, with Manchester United still the winners. ”

Dong Fangzhuo returned to the training ground, and accompanied by the team doctor, once again did a comprehensive physical examination.

The examination report showed that the left shoulder, which had been slightly fractured, had almost recovered and could be used in the team's training, but the more intense competition still could not be participated.

He won't be in the squad for the game against West Bromwich Albion at the weekend, because Smith has not returned from vacation, Dong Fangzhuo has not yet recovered from injury, and Rossina is once again on the bench.

When he was 2-0 up, he brought Rossi on the pitch and Rossi scored his first Premier League goal.

This kid, want to fly?

For the first time, Dong Fangzhuo felt a trace of pressure brought by Rosie......
