(Second Update!)

At 2 a.m. on July 31, Beijing time, the group draw ceremony of various continents of the 2014 Brazil World Cup qualifiers was held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The group opponents of the Chinese team in the top 20 Asian matches were officially released. China, Jordan, Iraq and Singapore, as seed teams, were divided into Group A.

Chinese football media and professionals in the circle all believe that this draw situation is very ideal for the Chinese team. They believe that except for China, the three opponents in the group stage are not strong.

They expect that the Chinese team will qualify with Jordan or Iraq.

For officials of the Chinese Football Association, they finally felt relieved when they saw such a draw. They believed that even if Chu Jiang did not represent the national team, the national team would easily go from the top line of this group.

As long as the Chinese team appears, their pressure will be much less.

However, interestingly, after learning about the results of the group draw, the media in Singapore, Jordan and Iraq also said that they were also satisfied with the draw results and claimed that their country had won a winning or winning lottery.

Whether you are satisfied or not, you can only qualify from this group in the end.

If Chu Jiang has been refusing to respond to the Football Association’s call, will the Chinese team really emerge from this “easy” group?

At present, no one will know the answer to this question.

Just as Chu Jiang and his teammates were preparing for their trip to Beijing, their opponents in the Europa League, Stoke City from the Premier League, was working hard to carry out signings.

Perhaps due to Sampdoria's good record, Stoke City, who was unwilling to surrender, attacked everywhere in the transfer market.

On August 3, England's Daily Mirror announced that Stoke City is planning to spend 16 million pounds to introduce Tottenham players Crouch and Palacios.

Stoke City coach Price admires the tall but good football forward Crouch Crouch, who is very good at playing. He looks forward to signing Crouch for 8 million pounds, bringing him to Britannia Stadium, and preparing to pay Crouch Crouch a high salary just like Tottenham.

Similarly, Tottenham's strong Honduran midfielder Palacios is also among the targets of Pulis's signings.

Stoke City has allegedly inquired about the price of Tottenham clubs, and in order to introduce the former Wigan Athletic midfielder, potters chairman Peter Coots is ready to spend huge sums of money.

On August 4, Italy's market-wide report said that Stoke City was preparing to offer Inter to buy Kenyan midfielder Mariga, and their envoy also arrived in Italy to negotiate with Inter.

On August 5, the England Guardian confirmed that Stoke City had inquired about the "Harm Gang" West Ham United and was preparing to sign the "Harm Gang" midfielder Scott Parker for 8 million pounds.

Stoke City tried to sign Carlton Cole earlier in the summer, but in the end Parker seems to be one of the potters' ideal goals because the players' own wishes are not fulfilled.

After relegation in the Premier League last season, Scott Parker left West Ham United this summer, which is already an irreversible thing, because Stoke City has great hope of attracting it.

Being able to win the qualification of a veteran Serie A team before your 18th birthday is a very big compliment to Chu Jiang.

Chu Jiang is very happy to accept the new responsibilities given to him by the team.

Therefore, when there was a labor-management dispute between Serie A players and clubs this time, Chu Jiang, as the team's deputy captain, naturally stood on the same front as the players in the league.

Although Chu Jiang is very satisfied with his contract, he not only represents himself, but also represents his colleagues who are at a disadvantage in contract negotiations.

However, although the players will threaten the strike, it is unlikely that the Serie A will eventually be suspended.

If the league is really suspended, the losses will be from both the players and the club, which no one wants to see.

In the end, the Players' Union and the Football Association should reach a certain compromise at some time, which is inevitable.

However, at present, this kind of compromise seems difficult to achieve.

Because, after receiving this open letter, Serie A professional league chairman Bereta expressed shock, and he publicly stated that he would not accept the requests made by the players.

On August 9, AC Milan Club arrived in Beijing one step ahead of schedule.

Although AC Milan complained about the Super Cup schedule in previous reports and once claimed that she would not recruit South American players to come to Beijing.

However, this time, they still brought international players from the South American national team such as Pato, Thiago Silva and other South American teams to Beijing with a very neat lineup.

Obviously, even when facing Sampdoria, who is not particularly strong, AC Milan Club does not intend to take it lightly.

They want to start their new season with a victory and a championship trophy.

At noon on August 10, just as Sampdoria players were about to arrive in Beijing, AC Milan Club held a pre-match press conference. AC Milan coach Allegri, along with Nesta and Pato, came to the press conference of the Olympic Sports Center and accepted a reporter's question.

"Before the game, there were rumors that AC Milan would not recruit South American players in this game, but in the end you brought all four of them. What are the considerations?"

A reporter asked.

In response to this, Allegri said: "You don't have to worry about the state. Another factor I consider is that if I don't bring them here, Chinese fans will not see excellent players such as Pato, Thiago Silva, and you will definitely be very sad."

When asked if there will be a penalty kick in the Super Cup, Allegri said: "We think this game is a game that will determine the outcome. We don't want a little ball. If it's a little ball, we hope to complete the penalty kick smoothly."

Since the Chinese player Chu Jiang appeared in this game, the questions about him must be that Allegri could not avoid.

When asked about Chu Jiang's impression, Allegri smiled and said, "First of all, I want to congratulate you. Although your country's football is not very famous, it has produced a very outstanding goalkeeper. In the Serie A, I have long recognized Chu's strength. I hope that in this game, he will not continue as good as before."

When the reporter asked whether the AC Milan club was interested in signing Chu Jiang, Allegri played a Tai Chi.

"Excellent players, no club will dislike them, and we will certainly be no exception."
