PS1: I continue to ask for recommendation votes here, saying that free books don’t require everyone to spend money, so it should be fine to give more recommendation votes? Thank you here~

PS2: Let me talk about the book friends group here. The group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verification answer is NTR Knight, well, that's it.

Just as Zhuang Mingge and Galliani were constantly quarreling over Shevchenko's transfer issues, time had already arrived on May 31. On this day, on the other side of the earth, the Korea-Japan World Cup, which was jointly organized by two countries for the first time in history, finally announced its opening under the anticipation of fans around the world!

Unlike the 16 World Cups held before, this is the first World Cup held in Asia and the first World Cup held by two countries. There are two gimmicks that have attracted a large number of fans and media attention before the opening. Many people are looking forward to this World Cup bringing them something different.

In fact, the reason why this World Cup was co-organized by Japan and South Korea was not the original intention of the Football Association of these two countries. At the beginning, FIFA had determined that Japan was the organizer of the 2002 World Cup, but at this moment, the Koreans suddenly ran out and said that we also wanted to hold this World Cup...

You can think about it. This is because the unit is ready to send a large bonus to an outstanding employee. As a result, a person who has nothing to do with this matter jumped out and said that the bonus should be given to me half because I also want it... Do you think such a person deserves a beating?

I won’t say much about anything else. When the Football Association of various countries bid for the World Cup, what did you do? Now Japan has gone through a lot of hardships and is almost successful. As a result, you suddenly came out and inserted this kick. Don’t you feel very disgusting?

Of course, perhaps the Korean Football Association and Zheng Mengjun did this at the beginning with the idea of ​​disgusting the Japanese, but the effect they received was far beyond their expectations - because in the face of these Koreans who could not even drive away even if they were stubborn, FIFA, under the control of Avilan, had to adopt a compromise plan and decided to jointly host the 2002 World Cup by South Korea and Japan.

So, the only World Cup, held by two countries, was born under such circumstances.

In addition to the two gimmicks mentioned earlier, there are a few strange things about this World Cup. First of all, its holding time is much earlier than before. Since the European League is mostly a New Year's Eve system, the World Cup usually opens in mid-June. However, the opening match of the Korean and Japanese World Cup this time was scheduled to be May 31, which is half a month ahead of normal circumstances!

Don’t underestimate the advancement of the past half month. For those international players who have played a full season in the club, the adjustment time of the past half month is very important, because it can temporarily get rid of the fatigue accumulated over a season and welcome the World Cup with a fuller spirit. Now, under the arrangement of the organizer, these famous stars have to deal with those Asian and African countries that have been raising their strength for a long time with fatigue.

There is also the situation of the top 16. Generally speaking, the two teams that met in the quarterfinals are from two adjacent groups, such as Group A first match against Group B second, Group C second match against Group D first. However, in this Korean and Japanese World Cup, the organizer changed this convention and changed the opponents of Group D and Group H, who were in Group D, to Group G and Group C respectively!

Fans with unknown backgrounds may think that the organizer's schedule is a bit unnecessary, but well-informed people and those with discerning eyes can see the hidden tricks at a glance.

"Think about it, if it were as before, it would be very likely that the South Korean team, who would advance as second in Group D, would have a strong opponent in the quarterfinals, Brazil, and Japan's opponent would have a Mexican team with equally excellent skills. In this way, the possibility of the two hosts wanting to defeat their opponents and advance to the quarterfinals will be much lower." Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the opening game of the World Cup, was analyzing the various tricks in the schedule for Karin and Rebecca. "Now, the schedule has been changed by the organizer, South Korean opponents are very likely to be Mexico. They have excellent physical fitness and good skills, and they still have a good chance of winning against Mexicans with average physical fitness; and Japan's opponent has become one of the other three teams in Group C except Brazil. Whether it is Turkey, Costa Rica or China, they are much easier to deal with than Mexico."

Due to the league level and talent training, there is a considerable gap in strength between national teams, so many games can basically foresee the final result before the start of the game. But in addition, there is a very wonderful, almost unscientific, mutually beneficial relationship between national teams.

The most typical examples are Sweden and England. No matter how you look at it, the three Lions' strength in most periods was much stronger than the Nordic Pirates, but the result was that since May 22, 1968, England has never beat Sweden in the game again. This contrast between the results and strength of the match are obviously disproportionate, which is the best basis for the statement that there is a nemesis between the national teams!

In addition, there is also a strange "nemesis" relationship between Italy and Germany, Italy and Spain, Brazil and France. Due to the length of the article, the specific results of the fight will not be detailed here. Those who are interested can search on Baidu.

"The same is true between Japan and Mexico. Although Japanese football has become the first-class force in Asian football after more than ten years of development, it is difficult for Japan to play its technical advantages in the face of Mexico, which is the same as it, and will fall at a disadvantage because of its physical disadvantage." Zhuang Mingge continued to instill some of his views on this World Cup in Karin and Rebecca. "As for South Korea, even if it is one of the hosts of this World Cup and has a home court advantage, it is definitely impossible to be a Brazilian opponent. Therefore, choosing a relatively weak group will naturally be more beneficial to their next promotion path."

Of course, Zhuang Mingge would not be so stupid that he told Karin and the others that the Korean club will make fans all over the world realize their shamelessness at this World Cup, and also give everyone a new understanding and understanding of the referee industry and the word "black whistle".

Well, I hope Italy can be more powerful this time, so don’t encounter the Koreans who are so bad that they are in the quarterfinals. Zhuang Mingge prayed secretly in his heart. As an Italian fan, he really doesn’t want to see Italy be sent back to his hometown by a golden ball that was fouled first in South Korea.
