The seed ranking order is determined by the results of the teams in the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the Asian regional qualifiers. Because China failed to qualify for the group stage in the last World Cup, it ranked very low after Bahrain, Uzbekistan, Kuwait and North Korea, at 10. In addition to Australian, Iranian and Saudi seed teams, third-year Iraqi, United Arab Emirates, fourth-year Qatari, Turkmenistan and even Thailand teams may all be in the same group as China. In the face of these teams, China has no absolute chance of winning, so it is very difficult to get the top two in the group and advance to the top ten.
The national football team, whose strength has fallen to the bottom of the second-rate in Asia, will still be "lucky", but perhaps the China team will be disappointed this time, because Dai Yi, the "old enemy" of China football and former Asian Footballer of the Year, will draw China's opponent in the top 20 with Via. Zhang Jilong, vice president of AFC who won a good draw for China in the World Cup qualifiers in Korea and Japan, has decided to give up his trip to South Africa because of "physical discomfort". In this way, only China national team leader Wei participated in the lottery ceremony. In the World Cup between South China and Japan, Zhang Jilong's dream of the World Cup came true to a great extent, because Zhang Jilong drew a good draw for China and helped China successfully avoid Saudi Arabia and Iran. At this sensitive moment, Zhang Jilong deliberately avoided the past, but talked about strength. He said: "China should not take the lottery too seriously, but should still look at its strength in the Asian arena."
Wei will report to the leaders of China Football Association as soon as possible after the lottery results are announced in the early morning of 26th Beijing time, and try to contact other teams to implement the warm-up match. 65438+February 1, China national team will start a new round of training, Folado will return to Beijing on February 4th, 65438, and China football will officially start its journey towards the 9th World Cup.

Advanced trend
The Football Association ordered that it must be promoted to the top ten.
Although next year is the Olympic year, due to the grim situation facing the national team, the China Football Association will still adhere to the principle of "walking on two legs"-the Olympic team should do a good job in the Olympic Games and the national team should do a good job in the World Cup qualifiers. It is reported that the General Administration of Sports has made a request to the Football Association that the national football team must be promoted to the top ten.
A senior official of the Football Association said: "China team must participate in the top ten matches in 2009, otherwise the confidence just established in the Super League will disappear, which will cause a greater blow to China football." Folado has always supported head coach Dujkovic when negotiating over-age players. However, with the approaching of the World Cup qualifier on February 6, Dewey also felt that if the main force of the national football team was transferred too much, it would affect the tactical running-in of the national team, so he said: "First of all, we must ensure the right of the national team to qualify."
Coach reaction
"Radu" is most afraid of touching the Iraqi team.
Judging from the current situation, China team is likely to fall into the encirclement of "West Asian wolves". In this regard, a Football Association official said, "As long as you don't meet the third Iraqi team, it won't be signed."
Judging from the ranking of the top 20 teams, there is a high probability that China will be in the same group as the West Asian teams. The first file has Saudi Arabia and Iran, the third file has Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Oman and the United Arab Emirates, all of which are West Asian teams, and the fourth file also has Qatar and Syria. Relatively speaking, China is psychologically not afraid of Saudi Arabia, but the third Iraqi team is a headache. They are the new champions of the Asian Cup. Last year, in the Asian Cup qualifiers, their record against China was one win and one draw. If you are in the same group as the Iraqi team, then the China team is really unlucky. The "Dura Group" also admitted that they would rather be in a group with the Australian team than fight with the Iraqi team.
