In the end, the grouping results of all the groups were (a bit messy the night before):

Group A: Russia, South Korea, Chile, Wales

Group B: Argentina, England, Sweden, Nigeria

Group C: Spain, Australia, United States, Ghana

Group D: Brazil, Iran, Mexico, New Zealand

Group E: Italy, France, Croatia, South Africa

Group F: Germany, Iceland, Costa Rica and Czech Republic

Group G: Portugal, Uruguay, Egypt, Croatia

Group H: Belgium, China, Côte d'Ivoire, Colombia

This is arguably the most ill-prepared World Cup in history.

Time is really running out for the top 32.

For some weak teams, this kind of preparation makes them feel excited, because strong opponents are not prepared enough, which is equivalent to giving themselves an increased chance of winning.

They even felt a little rejoicing, such as the four teams in Asia, in addition to China, Australia, Iran and South Korea have expressed their anticipation for the round of 16. They thought they could have every hope of getting good results in such a hasty trip.

The Korean newspaper was ashamed to say: "It seems that the upper and lower halves are full of traditional strong teams, but in fact, there are many pseudo-strong teams in the upper half, Spain in the weak, England in the green and yellow, paper tiger Brazil, and Argentina in the tiger, although their name is still very loud, but their strength may not be really strong, this year is Argentina's best chance to make history, it seems that there is a chance to reach the final!" The semi-finals of 2002 are expected to break through! ”

Koreans have always been ...... Alas.

Just look at their next sentence: "The only team in the way of the final is Argentina." ”

No, they had a smooth ride in the top half and could theoretically meet Argentina in the semi-finals, as long as they were strong enough and lucky enough......

Australia's boss shared a similar sentiment, saying, "Aussie is not afraid of other teams except for a few teams. Australia is confident of doing well. Modern football is not the same as before, there are no absolute strong teams, and this World Cup is the time for Asian teams to make results. ”

There is another team, Iran, which is not so arrogant, they just hope, "Hope for a good result." ”

On the second day after the draw, almost all the teams were stationed in Russia, and no team could waste time, and racing against time to prepare was the only way.

The Chinese team did not continue to scream in front of the media like the other three Asian teams, as the first match of the Chinese team was played in Sochi. So Mourinho led a direct flight to Sochi, and closed all news media interviews.

This naturally disappointed the media fans, who wanted to know everything about the most anticipated team in the World Cup, but Mourinho didn't even leave a bird's feather.

Since entering Sochi, everything has been closed.

Of course, Jose Mourinho's team is not coaxing on the outside, but not necessarily on the inside.

Mourinho is certainly an ambitious man! Otherwise, he wouldn't be called Mourinho, and if you just find a coach to play in the World Cup, you don't necessarily need Mourinho. On the premise of having Liu Hao, it may be reasonable to change to a better coach.

But isn't it Mourinho now?

Some people only pay lip service to the words, but they don't necessarily put them into action. Others use actions to give everyone a glimpse of the future.

In the secret conference room, in front of the big screen, there is a map of the top 32 distribution, and there is also a map of the distribution of the lower half.

On the distribution map of the lower half of the region, the name of the Chinese team appeared at the end of Group H. Next to Belgium, Côte d'Ivoire and Colombia.

The conference room was quiet, and everyone looked at Mourinho seriously.

Every time Mourinho has a tactical meeting, everyone will not let out a fart. Including Liu Hao.

Because Mourinho never talks nonsense and does not allow players to talk nonsense off the pitch.

And so the meeting began.

"Group H, hehe, I know you must have a lot of ideas in your mind, like we are likely to finish second in the group, there is a high probability of appearing, just like the odds given by the bookmakers, the odds for us to qualify are ridiculously low, and the media and fans all over the world think so, and you think so too. But you have to ask me if I am so confident? ”

Mourinho looked around to see how the crowd reacted.

A lot of people nodded a little excitedly.

Do you still need to think about it? You must have faith! Even Liu Hao is no exception.

"Look at it, you're getting carried away about qualifying in a group, the Koreans fantasize about the semi-finals, but you only think about finishing second in the group, which is even sadder than them! My answer is that I didn't think about qualifying from the group at all, which is the bare minimum, the most basic thing. After Mourinho taunted a player, he tapped his right hand lightly on the notebook, and then a red line appeared in the bottom half of the map, and at the same time, the match of the round of 16 appeared next to the red line.

The name of the Chinese team appeared again, and it was with Portugal.

It's about the rhythm of Cristiano Ronaldo (it's different from the real 14, where Portugal played in the semi-finals. However, why is it to fight Portugal, he is a little puzzled, why not Uruguay?

"Uruguay is tougher than Portugal, Uruguay has a strong style of play, similar to Colombia, but more delicate than Colombia, Portugal is just Ronaldo's team, such a team is easy to play." Mourinho seemed to see Liu Hao's thoughts, so he explained, I don't know if when he said this, did he think that he was also Portuguese, he would rather use the Chinese team to deal with Portugal than against Uruguay, this is completely from the technical and tactical level, not from the interests of the motherland.

This is the profession......

Didn't you deliberately let the Chinese team out of the game and complete Portugal? Liu Hao felt sorry in his heart.

But then he smiled, after all, even he felt that Uruguay with strong attackers such as Suarez was more difficult to deal with, and Mourinho was right to think so.

'Whoever is first or second in the group, we have to play in the right position. Mourinho continued.

"Then we'll run into Italy, France, and we won't have to think about the Czech Republic and Germany." Mourinho is like a god operator, analyzing the future battle of eight into four, as if the Chinese team will really move forward like this.

Germany is understandable not to think about it, because they will definitely take out one of them to occupy a place in the last eight, and they will not meet China, as for the Czech Republic, that means that France and Italy will have a team that will kill them.

Of course, it would be nice if everything could be calculated......

How would it be felt for other teams to know that Jose Mourinho was the most arrogant of all, knowing that they were eating their opponents like a war in a tactical meeting? (To be continued.) )

PS: The grouping of the chapter the night before was a bit wrong.,Everyone will try to write as much as possible about this chapter.,After all, the World Cup is a lot easier to write.,Haha.。 After writing the World Cup, the book is over, and then a new book will be opened, but I really haven't figured out what the specific ranking will be, let's see the specific process
