Chapter 719 The first team drawn

After the three-round group stage, the Chinese team and England had both 1 win and 2 draws, and they qualified with 5 points. However, it is not so easy to decide which one is the first in Group B, whether the Chinese team or England is the first in Group B.

According to the ranking regulations of the German World Cup, if it is found in the group that some teams get the same points after completing the group stage, the winner will be determined according to the following criteria:

1. The party with the best net advantage in the team;

2. The party with the best total goals in the relevant team;

3. The team with the best performance in the group stage;

4. Decide the winning team in the form of a lottery.

The Chinese team and England have one goal difference, and the two teams are considered to be tied, so the first one cannot determine who is the first in the group;

The Chinese team and England scored 5 goals, and they tied again, so the second one also cannot determine who is the first in the group;

In the direct match between China and England, the score between the two teams was 2:2, so the third one was invalid again.

In this way, the two teams have to draw lots to decide who is the first in the group!

This is the first time in the history of the World Cup!

Originally, the Chinese team was preparing to send Football Association officials to Berlin, the capital of Germany, to participate in the draw ceremony, which was the World Cup final. However, because Yin Jun had a private plane and could fly everywhere in European countries, including Germany, after negotiation, Yin Jun, as the captain, went to participate in the draw.

In the lottery, Yin Jun, who has always had a good character, was once again very lucky to win the lottery. In this way, the Chinese team maintained their position in the standings, but this time they no longer ranked first with the advantage of the first letter of the country, but the final ranking of the standings.

This allowed the Chinese team to finally avoid the German team, the number one host in Group A, and instead faced Ecuador, the dark horse in Group A.

This is undoubtedly a very good result for the Chinese team. England had to face the German team in the first round of the knockout round.

……………………

Immediately after Group A and B decided the qualifying teams. One day later, Group C and D also decided the winners. Portugal and Mexico in Group D advanced unexpectedly, while Argentina and the Netherlands in Group C advanced hand in hand with a record of 2 wins and 1 draw. However, the two teams do not need to draw lots like the Chinese team and England to decide who is the first in the group. In the goal difference competition, the Netherlands lost and Argentina won the first in the group.

Subsequently, the results of the other four groups were also released, with Italy, Brazil, Switzerland and Spain ranked first, while Ghana, Australia, France and Ukraine ranked second.

According to the rules of the battle, Group A is Germany, Group B is England, Group C is Argentina, Group D is Mexico, Group E is Italy, Group F is Australia, Group G is Switzerland and Group H is Ukraine enters the upper half; Group A is Ecuador, Group B is China, Group C is Netherlands, Group D is Portugal, E is Ghana, Group F is Brazil, Group G is Brazil, France and Group H is Spain enters the lower half.

If the Chinese team can beat Ecuador in the quarterfinals, they will play the winners of the two teams, Portugal and the Netherlands, in the quarterfinals.

If they can go further, that is, they will enter the semi-finals, then their opponents will be the winners between Ghana, Brazil, France and Spain.

……………………

After the Chinese team decided to be the first in Group B through the draw, Chinese fans began to flock to Stuttgart, more than 100 kilometers away. On the evening of June 25, domestic time, the Chinese team will face South American team Ecuador at Gottlieb Delham Stadium.

This is a contest between two dark horse teams. Although due to Yin Jun and the Chinese team's victory in the Federation Cup last year, the Chinese team's identity as dark horse is not widely recognized!

This game will also determine whose dark horse is more attractive!

The Chinese team is also moving to Stuttgart to prepare for the battle.

There are unprecedented numbers of Chinese fans rushing to Stuttgart this time. On the one hand, it is because the Chinese team's breakthrough into the quarterfinals further aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. On the other hand, it is because the Gottlieb Delham Stadium can accommodate more fans watching the game than the stadiums in the next two group matches.

The Gottlieb Dalem Stadium is the home court of the Bundesliga powerhouse Stuttgart, named after Gottlieb Daimler, one of the inventors of Hyundai. The stadium was built in 1933 and was expanded to host the 2006 World Cup. After completion, domestic competitions can accommodate 57,000 spectators (including seats and standing seats) or 54,500 spectators (full seats) in international competitions. This World Cup will be held here, including four first-round group matches, one second-round top 16 and third-place competition.

Of course, Chinese fans still hold on to the hope that Ecuador has not come to Germany and they can get more tickets.

……………………

Like the Chinese team, Ecuador, the Chinese team, participated in the World Cup finals for the first time in 2002, and then entered the finals in this event. Now it has gone further and reached the threshold of the knockout round.

Yin Jun is not very familiar with this Ecuadorian team, because most of its players play in the Ecuadorian domestic league and play in the five major European leagues, only Barcelona's midfielder Tenorio and Premier League defender De La Cruz. The former is just a water dispenser guard at Barcelona and basically has no chance to play; the latter was once Villa's main defender, but the just-concluded 2005-2006 season also lost its position because of its age and is very likely to leave the Premier League in the new season.

One of Yin Jun’s most familiar players is Valencia, who currently plays for the Spanish Second Division team Huelva. This future Red Devils famous player is currently a player of the Yellow Submarine, but he went to Huelva on loan in January this year because he couldn’t play in Huang Qian.

It is also because of this situation that the Ecuadorian international, who was later called "Marion United's four dark kings" by Manchester United fans, Nani, Ashley Young and Weirbeck, missed the roster of Huang Qian's four matches against Manchester United last season, let alone the game.

However, Yin Jun is also very clear that this Manchester United future fast horse, nicknamed "Water Can't Shoot", has scored a goal in the World Cup, but its shooting skills are actually very bad.

His unique skill is to draw a cross from the right side. After tweeting out with his right foot on the right side, he used the force of his shot to draw horizontally into the penalty area.

His other abilities is speed. At his peak, he is a world-class wing fast horse!
