September 10th, 4 pm local time in Zurich and 22:00 Beijing time.
The lobby of FIFA headquarters is bustling with people.
Here are not only members of the Glory national team from 16 countries, but also reporters from news media and various staff from all over the country. They are all preparing for the opening ceremony of today's World Invitational Tournament. And the final preparations are being made for the group draw ceremony of the World Invitational Tournament.
Not long after Wang Zi and others came in, they received interviews from domestic reporters.
In addition to CCTV’s beautiful reporter Wang Liang, the reporters interviewed also included reporters from major media such as Honor Live and Tencent Sports.
and receiving interviews from journalists from other countries.
The interviews conducted by domestic reporters were very polite and respectful. Most of the questions asked during the interviews were about the players’ feelings at this time, their confidence in the World Invitational Tournament, and their expectations for other players. Which national team do you think is stronger and which national team seems weaker? These questions are asked.
However, the topics interviewed by foreign reporters are not very friendly. They will ask why the Z country team did not appear in the training list for the World Invitational Tournament, whether there is a reverse jet lag now, and whether the players are all there now. Lack of spirit and the like are all topics that hurt people or undermine their self-confidence.
However, when faced with interviews by these foreign reporters, all the players responded politely. Although they were angry, they did not get angry in public.
On such an international stage, you still have to pay attention to controlling your temper, because their foreign media want to make you angry in this way, and then seize your handle and use public opinion to attack you crazily.
Everyone is a master of glory, and they have been exposed to many interviews in China, so they naturally understand this truth.
The interview ended at six o'clock in the evening, and then the official opening game of the World Invitational Championship began.
For the opening match of the World Invitational Tournament, Zurich officials have also prepared many activities.
In addition to the national intangible cultural heritage display, there were also song and dance performances, and finally there was a Honor e-sports performance. These performances did not end until eight o'clock in the evening.
Then, comes the last and most important event of the day.
Group draw.
"Hey, look, boss lady, the lottery has started!"
Xingxin Internet Cafe, on the first floor, all the lights are turned off.
The projection in the middle of the Internet cafe was on, and the picture projected happened to be the opening game of the World Invitational Tournament.
“I don’t know which group our national team will be drawn into. I heard that there are four teams that do not need to draw lots. They have decided on the group by default.”
"Oh my god! There are still groupings that have been predetermined? Damn, isn't this a privilege?"
"No way, they participated in the training camp half a month ago, and then after the training, they found the four strongest teams, and then they separated the four strongest teams into four groups ABCD to avoid fighting in the same group."
"Mad, these foreign pigs, don't invite our Z country team. It’s okay to go to the training camp, but now you’re still doing this Disgusting insider operation.”
“Yeah! It’s really annoying, but no matter which group our national team is drawn, they will regret for despising our national team. The master of our national team. We will teach them what glory is!”
“This is true. I really look forward to the scene where these foreign pigs are brutally beaten by the masters of our national team. I am starting to get excited in advance. ”
The audience in the Internet cafe were talking one after another. They didn't quiet down until the lottery ceremony officially started and a beautiful blonde girl appeared on the screen.
“Ladiesandgentlemen”
The beautiful host used crisp and fluent English to address the representatives of various countries in the hall, media workers from various countries, the audience at the scene, and TV stations from all over the world. The audience in front of the machine introduced the competition format and lottery rules of this first World of Glory Invitational Tournament.
"I'm so tired, Ande, are you so bored?"
Hearing the host's explanation, Huang Shaotian in the audience immediately said, "Don't tell me, it's indeed quite boring."< br>
Hearing Huang Shaotian's muttering, Xiao Shiqin couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Pfft~! What kind of sister is so boring? Huang Shao, you have exposed your level of education!"
"It sounds like you have too much. It’s like being educated, have you graduated from junior high school? Isn’t he talking about being a boring sister?” Huang Shaotian rolled his eyes and actually said that he showed his level of education. How many people here are educated?
"Of course I graduated. I got my junior high school diploma." Xiao Shiqin said proudly.
"Yo yo~! It turns out he is a top student, amazing!" Huang Shaotian was so angry that he was obviously not convinced.
After all, if you can take out a junior high school diploma and put it in a cup, they are the only one in their circle.
"Then tell me, what does that foreign girl mean?" Huang Shaotian asked.
"Although my English scores are also very poor, I still know this sentence."
Xiao Shiqin raised his head proudly. He himself did not expect that besides showing off his glory, Technology, and one day will be able to showcase its own culture. "The word "tired to death" means gentlemen, "ande" means "harmony", and "jietemeno" means ladies. So when these words are combined, it means gentlemen and ladies."
< br>
After Xiao Shiqin finished speaking, he turned to look at Su Mucheng. Su Mucheng was the real top student in their glory circle and had graduated from high school.
However, Su Mucheng didn't mean to show off her culture. In front of Ye Xiu, she would often show off her culture to attack Ye Xiu, so Ye Xiu's account game name was all chosen by her.
But in the national team, everyone is not very familiar with you. You are too naive, which is not good.
So Su Mucheng just smiled lightly: "Absolutely."
Xiao Shiqin glanced at Huang Shaotian proudly: "Look, I didn't lie to you, right?"
Huang Shaotian gave Xiao Shiqin a thumbs up: "Okay, you are awesome. If we don't understand in the future, you can be our translator."
Xiao Shiqin smiled and said, "Then I'm not qualified. I can only understand a few simple words. You'd better let Su Mucheng be the translator."
Su Mucheng waved her hand quickly Said: "I can only understand simple conversations. If they are too complicated or spoken too fast, I can't understand them."
"That's better than us not being able to understand a single letter." I understand, it’s too strong.” Ye Xiu said.
"Haha, then I'll try my best." Su Mucheng didn't refuse anymore.
At this time, the information of the four groups appeared on the big screen in the venue.
The draw hasn't started yet, but each of the four groups A, B, C, and D already has a national team name.
Because four strong teams have become seed players, they were directly divided into four groups ABCD.
The first is Switzerland. As the host, Switzerland did not draw lots but was directly placed in Group A.
Then Group B is the H country team, Group C is the England team, and Group D is the M country team.
The other 12 teams went up to draw lots. After all the draws were completed, the final information of the four groups was announced.
Members of Group A: Switzerland, Russia, Canada, and Germany.
Members of Group B: National Team H, Team Denmark, Team Japan, and National Team Z.
Members of Group C: England, Netherlands, Sweden, France.
Members of Group D: Team M, Team Italy, Team Norway, Team Australia.
After seeing the grouping information, the audience in country Z immediately became uneasy.
Death team!
This is the real death panel.
H National Team, Z National Team and Japanese Team, these three ‘neighborhood’ teams with the most delicate relationship, actually got together!
This. This is clearly Zurich deliberately causing trouble!
This is clearly a secret operation!
Moreover, Team H and Denmark are both strong teams, and Team Japan is not weak either. They arranged Team Z into Group B. In addition to letting the three neighbors fight each other, they clearly wanted to put Team Z in Group B. Eliminated in the first round.
With ulterior motives!
When they saw the names of the opponents in Group B, every player on Team Z was stunned for a moment.
"The first round is a battle with Team H and Team Japan. It's interesting!" Yu Wenzhou crossed his hands on his chest and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Because he was wearing glasses, he couldn't see his expression.
"I like this kind of competition! I can eliminate a neighbor in the first round and let them go back to Asia to go fishing!" Seeing the two team names of the Japanese team and the H country team, Sun Xiang seemed a little bit confused. Excited.
"Don't be too optimistic, your opponents are not weak!" Xiao Shiqin reminded.
Huang Shaotian made a sound: "Are we afraid that our opponents are not weak? What I'm afraid of is that they are too weak!"
Wang Zi laughed: "Haha, Huang Shao said it well. , no matter who the opponent is, our The goal is to win the championship, so even if they assign all the National Team H, National Team M, and the British Team to us, I will still defeat them all!”
“Let’s see how the next schedule is arranged! Right." Ye Xiu said. (End of this chapter)
