ps1: Those who continue to ask for recommendation tickets here say that free books do not require everyone to spend money, so it should be no problem to give more recommendation tickets, right?We are here thank you~

ps2: Let me talk about the book friend group here, the group numbers are three, seven, zero, five, four, nine, nine, one, nine, and the verified answer is ntr knight, um, that's it.

While Zhuang Mingge and Galliani were arguing endlessly about Shevchenko's transfer, the time has come to May 5 without knowing it.On this day, on the other side of the earth, the first World Cup between Korea and Japan jointly hosted by two countries in history finally announced its opening under the eyes of fans all over the world!

Different from the previous [-] World Cups, this is the first World Cup held in Asia, and it is also the first World Cup co-hosted by two countries.With these two gimmicks, the World Cup has attracted the attention of a large number of fans and media before the opening. Many people are expecting that this World Cup will bring them something different.

In fact, the reason why this World Cup will be co-hosted by Japan and South Korea is not the original intention of the two national football associations.At the beginning, FIFA had confirmed Japan as the host of the 2002 World Cup, but at this moment, the Koreans suddenly came out and said that we also want to host this World Cup...

You can think about it, this is because the unit is planning to give a large bonus to an outstanding employee, but a person who has nothing to do with this matter jumped out and said that the bonus should be distributed to Half of me, because I want it too... Do you think this kind of person deserves a beating?

Not much else to say, when the football associations of various countries bid to host the World Cup, what did you Korean sticks do?Now people in Japan have gone through untold hardships and are almost successful, but you suddenly came out and inserted such a foot, don’t you think it’s annoying?

Of course, maybe the Korean Football Association and Zheng Mengzhun did this with the idea of ​​​​disgusting the Japanese at the beginning, but the effect they received far exceeded their expectations-because they can't get rid of these gangsters. For the Koreans, FIFA, which was under the control of Havelange at the time, finally had to adopt a compromise plan and decided that South Korea and Japan would jointly host the 2002 World Cup.

Thus, the only World Cup co-hosted by two countries was born under such circumstances.

In addition to the two gimmicks mentioned earlier, there are a few rather weird things about this World Cup.The first is that its holding time is much earlier than in the past. Since most European leagues are multi-year, the World Cup usually starts in mid-June.But this time the opening game of the Korea-Japan World Cup was scheduled for May 5, half a month earlier than normal!

Don't underestimate the advance of this half month. For those international players who have played in the club for a full season, the adjustment time of this half month is very important, because it can let them temporarily get rid of the fatigue accumulated after a season feeling, to welcome the World Cup with a fuller mental state.But now, under the arrangement of the organizers, these famous stars have to deal with those Asian and African countries who have been recharging their energy for a long time with a tired attitude.

There is also the matchup situation in the top [-]. Generally speaking, the two teams that meet in the quarter-finals are from two adjacent groups. For example, the first team in Group A is against the second team in Group B. The second in the group is against the first in the d group.However, in this World Cup in Korea and Japan, the organizers have modified this practice, changing the opponents of the two hosts' Group D and Group H in the quarter-finals to Group G and Group C respectively. Group!

Fans who don't know the details may feel that the organizers arrange the schedule like this is really superfluous, but well-informed people and those with discerning eyes can see the tricks hidden in it at a glance.

"Think about it, if it's the same as before, then the South Korean team, which is likely to advance as the second place in Group D, will face the mighty Brazil in the round of [-], while Japan's opponent may be It is the Mexican team with equally excellent skills. In this way, the possibility of the two hosts wanting to defeat their opponents and advance to the quarter-finals will be greatly reduced.” Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching the opening game of the World Cup, was giving cards Lin and Rebecca analyzed all the tricks in the schedule, "Now that the schedule has been changed by the organizer, South Korea's opponent is very likely to be Mexico. They have excellent physical fitness and good skills. The Mexicans still have a good chance of winning; and Japan's opponents have become one of the other three teams in Group C except Brazil. Whether it is Turkey, Costa Rica or China, they are all better Mexico is much easier to deal with."

Due to the level of the league and talent training, there is a big gap in the strength of the national teams. Therefore, the final results of many games can be basically foreseen before they start.But in addition, there is a very wonderful, almost unscientific, relationship between the national teams.

The most typical examples are Sweden and England. No matter how you look at it, the paper strength of the Three Lions in most periods is much stronger than that of the Vikings, but the result is that from May 1968, 5, England has no longer I have never won against Sweden in the game. This obviously disproportionate contrast between the results of the match and the strength is the best basis for the statement that there is a nemesis among the national teams!

In addition, Italy and Germany, Italy and Spain, Brazil and France also have some kind of weird "nemesis" relationship.Due to space constraints, the specific results of the match will not be detailed here, and those who are interested can search on Baidu.

"The same is true between Japan and Mexico. Although Japanese football has become the top power in Asian football after more than ten years of development, it is difficult for Japan to show its technical strength in the face of Mexico, which belongs to the same technological stream as it. On the contrary, they will be at a disadvantage because of their physical disadvantages." Zhuang Mingge continued to instill some of his views on this World Cup to Karin and Rebecca, "As for South Korea, even if it is one of the hosts of this World Cup, They have home court advantage, but it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the Brazilians. Therefore, choosing a relatively weaker group will naturally be more beneficial to their next promotion."

Of course, Zhuang Mingge would not be so stupid as to tell Karin and the others now that Korean fans in this World Cup will let fans all over the world realize how shameless they are, and let everyone know the industry of referees and the term black whistle With a whole new awareness and understanding.

Well, I hope that this time Italy can play a little bit better, so that they don't have the misfortune to run into a South Korean in the top [-].Zhuang Mingge prayed secretly in his heart.As an Italian fan, he really doesn't want to see Italy being sent back to his hometown by a golden ball fouled by South Korea again.

While Zhuang Mingge was explaining to the two women the various calculations of the two hosts in this World Cup, there was an unexpected change in the ongoing World Cup opening match!
