Chapter 275 World Cup Group Draw (Chinese National Football Team Story, Daily Transition)
Gao Qi stayed in his motherland for more than a week.

Participate in various commendation conferences and CCTV’s sports variety shows, and interact with young players at the youth training base.

No matter where you go, the surrounding area will be surrounded by reporters and fans.

It caused a national sensation.

The front-page headlines of mainstream media tracked his itinerary for several consecutive days.

The traffic heat shows no signs of weakening, but instead continues to rise.

He has become a phenomenal sports cultural symbol.

Before leaving, he accepted the cordial condolences from the senior leader.

In the solemn and dignified Golden Hall of the Great Hall of the People, crystal chandeliers cast warm golden light on the red carpet.

The senior leader in a dark business jacket stood opposite the football superstar in the national team uniform, and the football drew a smooth arc under the red and yellow lights.

The shutter sounds like raindrops.

Foreign friends of different skin colors from all over the world who were visiting China applauded excitedly.

In a sense, Gao Qi is a sports business card that China presents to the world.

“Xiao Gao, has anyone bullied you?”

“No, that’s not bullying, that’s a different voice.”

“Good good.”

One photographer was so excited that he lost his grip on the camera and the lens fell and happened to be aimed at the huge red star pattern on the dome.

“Arc Under the Red Star”.

With applause.

Gao Qi bid farewell to his motherland again.

perhaps.

Perhaps even if they qualify, Chinese football will not become what he expects for the time being.

But he has no regrets.

The 2017 summer transfer window also caused a sensation.

Neymar left Barcelona and joined Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee that broke football history at 2.22 million euros.

Super star Mbappe joined Paris Saint-Germain for 1.8 million euros.

Barcelona was not to be outdone and spent 3.8 million euros to bring back Dembele, Coutinho and others.

Manchester City broke the Premier League transfer record, signing 10 players including Bernardo Silva and Kyle Walker, completing the transition from old to new.

Manchester United sent Rooney away for free and spent 7500 million pounds to buy super center forward Lukaku.

For the same price, Liverpool actively negotiated with Southampton, trying to sign a Dutch defender named Van Dijk.

All fans began to look forward to: the fierce confrontation in the 2017/18 season.

It’s actually pretty intense too.

A lot happened in the next six months.

Manchester City has won 18 consecutive games in the Premier League.

Arsenal missed the Champions League this season and the “anti-Wenger trend” in North London reached its historical peak. Islington fans were extremely angry and demanded that Wenger be sacked.

The goalposts of the Olympic Stadium in Rome once again showed their power and blocked Atletico Madrid’s bombardment many times in the Champions League, leaving Simeone completely hopeless.

Messi has entered the most important period of transformation. The number of dribbles per game has been greatly reduced, and the number of key passes has reached the peak of his career, gradually completing the transition from “super explosive point” to “commander”.

Morata’s center forward technique has become more and more perfect, but his shooting skills have declined significantly.

Lukaku gained weight for the 2018 World Cup and his shooting skills also dropped significantly.

Gao Qi does not seem to have any signs of aging, which makes many biological experts and nutrition professors feel incredible.
Italy did not make it to the World Cup finals.

2017 12 Month 1 Day.

Moscow, Kremlin.

Representatives of the 32 national teams that qualified for the World Cup, FIFA officials, and host dignitaries entered the main venue one after another.

When Gao Qi appeared, he attracted the attention of all the media. The reason was very simple: the Chinese team had not entered the main competition for a long time.

The guns and cannons came closer.

A Russian reporter asked a very simple question.

“Gao! Are you cold? Are you nervous?”

“not nervous.”

Everyone laughed. “Thanks to your outstanding performance in the Asian qualifiers, the Chinese team will be a third-tier team after qualifying for the World Cup finals! Are you worried about being drawn into the death group?”

“do not worry.”

Gao Qi’s smile was a little forced.

Worry about shit?
No matter which group the Chinese national football team goes to, the challenges it faces will be severe.

“What Gao means is that no matter which group he is drawn into, the result will be the same, and other teams will feel anxious.”

“The Emperor of European Football Visits the Kremlin.”

Bang bang bang, thunderous applause.

The media reporters were writing furiously, their eyes filled with anticipation, looking forward to the Chinese people conquering Europe in the 2018 World Cup in Russia!

“The Hawthorn Tree” echoed in the spacious corridor.

Gao Qi walked on the red carpet and led the Chinese national football delegation into the main venue.

“high!”

Maradona walked briskly with a big belly.

He climbed onto Gao Qi’s shoulders without hesitation, looked up and encouraged him: “You finally made it to the World Cup. How is it? Do you have the confidence to make it to the finals?”

“.”

“Haha, I was just kidding.”

The Argentine football king is not the only guest drawee.

Pele thought seriously, frowning, perhaps wondering: If I were in my prime, how far could I lead this Chinese team in the World Cup?
Beckenbauer raised his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled: “I am looking forward to your performance in the World Cup, Gao.”

Where is Cruyff, who is still alive and well? He didn’t come.

Lao Ke’s personality has resulted in his low status at the international official level.

The main venue was very lively.

In addition to the three old football legends, there are also several World Cup champions.

For example, the 1998 champion – Zidane, the 2002 champion – Ronaldo, the 2006 champion – Cannavaro, the 2010 champion – Xavi and so on.

Gao Qi found a seat under the guidance of the staff.

Located in the third row of the venue.

The person sitting next to him is his old Roman friend – Benatia!

Morocco also made it to the World Cup finals.

“Long time no see, Gao!”

“long time no see!”

“We are both really good. We both led our national teams to the World Cup.”

“Haha.”

A few years ago, Benatia would never have dreamed that he would meet Gao Qi in such an occasion.

On the main stage, Russian artists are interpreting “Katyusha”.

Famous attractions appeared on the big screen: Lake Baikal, Red Square, the Winter Palace, the Summer Palace, the Kamchatka Peninsula, and the Trans-Siberian Railway.
After a while.

The lights change.

The music stopped suddenly.

FIFA official Infantino gave the opening speech.

When this guy saw Gao Qi, he almost couldn’t stop laughing.

“Football unites the world!”

“We would like to thank the host country Russia for its preparations.”

Putin then took the stage and welcomed fans from all over the world in Russian.

“The drawing ceremony begins now!”

Accompanied by the cheerful theme song, the 2014 World Cup champion representative – Klose walked onto the main stage holding the World Cup trophy.

“The World Cup has officially entered Russian time.”

Studio.

Barrage flying.

[Please ask Zidane to give the Chinese team a good draw! ]

[What you said, for the Chinese national football team, it doesn’t matter which group they are assigned to, right? Look at the teams in the first and second tiers.]
–
[The most perfect draw result: Argentina, Croatia, China, Morocco! In this way, we have a chance to advance to the knockout stage. Argentina is not very strong, Croatia is very weak, Gao Qi may be able to lead the Chinese national football team to the platinum generation and break through this group! ]
