Chapter 75 FIFA rankings announced, China’s national football team’s world ranking soared! The Chinese national football team achieved great results in this East Asian Cup. In addition to winning the men's and mixed group championships, and receiving a prize of $60. He also won good individual awards. With his outstanding performance in the East Asian Cup, Lin Feng beat his national team teammates such as Xie Hui and won the East Asian Cup Most Valuable Player award awarded by the tournament committee. The top scorer award was won by teammate Xie Hui. In addition, six players from the national football team were selected into the best team. In terms of post-match bonus distribution, the men's football team received a bonus of 55 US dollars. The women's soccer team received $6 in prize money. The prize money for men's football includes a 50 yuan championship prize and a 5 yuan mixed prize for both men and women. Because the women's football team ranked last, they only received a fourth-place ranking bonus of $1, which was not enough to be shared by the thirty or forty players in their team.
However, because of the men's football team, he received an additional mixed prize of $5, so the prize money of $6 is not bad. Considering the difficult living conditions of women's football, many players even have difficulty supporting their families. After discussion, all the players on the men's football team decided to give their share of the $5 mixed bonus to the women's football team. When the women's football team learned the news, the entire team came over to thank the men's football team. Some women's football players even gave the men's football players small gifts they had made themselves. Lin Feng received a very beautiful bracelet, but he didn’t know who gave it to him. The other person buried his head with a red face, thrust it into his arms, then turned and ran away, not giving Lin Feng a chance to see the other person's appearance clearly. This bracelet is very beautifully woven, with delicate and careful workmanship. You can tell that a lot of time and thought went into it. Even if this thing is sold, I guess it won’t have any trouble selling! It’s no wonder that there are people in the women’s football team who make money by doing handicrafts part-time. The life of women's football during this period was extremely difficult. The monthly salary of most of the players was less than 1000 yuan, and they could hardly support themselves. It was nothing compared to the men's football team. Before the reform of the women's football league, the living environment of the women's football league was very bad. Not only is it difficult to attract sponsors, there are not even many spectators. Without anyone paying attention and without sponsors, the commercial operation of women's football will naturally not be able to develop. The players can only receive a meager subsidy from the Football Association. The amount is limited and can only maintain basic living. Their main source of income is the prize money they win from participating in various competitions. Compared with them, 15 years later, the women's football team that experienced the reform of the Women's Super League is much happier. At that time, the Chinese women's football team already had the highest salary in the world! …… According to the original regulations of the Football Association, the men's football team must take at least 50% or even half of the US dollars prize money. But the men's football team's performance this time was excellent, which made the top leaders very happy. With a wave of their hands, they gave up the Football Association's part.
The entire 500,000 yuan bonus was left to the Chinese national football team, allowing them to divide it among themselves. Thanks to the great leadership, the main players of the national football team received bonuses ranging from 20 to 25 RMB. The substitutes also received bonuses of 10 to 15 yuan, and even the staff in charge of logistics received bonuses of around 5 yuan. This amount of money is not a small sum even for the big-name stars in the team, let alone for a group of young players. It is a huge sum of money. After getting the money, many people couldn't wait to go out shopping. Chen Tao found Lin Feng as soon as possible and handed over all the bonus he had just received to Lin Feng. "What are you doing?" "Didn't I lend you 200 million euros before? This money is interest, you can keep it!" Chen Tao didn't like the feeling of owing money. After signing with Werder Bremen, he immediately transferred the 10 euro signing fee to Lin Feng. The bonus that he had just received was handed back to Lin Feng before he could even warm up to it. This guy really opened Lin Feng's eyes. I've seen people falling out over borrowing money and eventually becoming enemies. I've never seen anyone like him who can't wait to hand over the little money in his hand, as if the money is hot. However, this does reflect Chen Tao's character. He has a strong sense of responsibility and is capable of taking on responsibilities. This guy is easy to get along with and worth making friends with. Lin Feng received 20 yuan and gave 5 yuan back to Chen Tao. "What, do you think the money is too little?" Chen Tao raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked. "No, I'm worried that you've emptied your pockets and don't even have money to buy a plane ticket back to the club." The prices in Germany are very high. You need to spend money on renting a house, buying various training equipment, as well as daily food, clothing, and daily necessities. Lin Feng didn’t know whether Chen Tao had reserved this money, so he left some for him. After hearing what Lin Feng said, Chen Tao didn't act pretentiously and accepted the 5 yuan that Lin Feng handed over. "I'll pay you the rest of the money first, and I'll pay you back when I have money later!" …… After winning the championship, the Chinese national football team did not stay in South Korea for too long. On August 8, the entire team, including the women's football team, returned home on a chartered flight. At the Capital International Airport, the two teams received a warm welcome from the fans. The number of people who showed up was so large that the airport reception hall was paralyzed at one point. Even the experienced national team leaders were dumbfounded by this scene.
"When did we become so popular?" "I haven't been here. When we came back from the World Cup, we didn't receive such a warm welcome!" "Isn't that nonsense? What was our performance in the World Cup? We lost all three games and didn't score a single goal. The fans didn't come and throw eggs at our heads, which was already a great honor. You still expect them to welcome us!" Compared to the surprised old players, the reactions of these young people who were selected for the national team for the first time were much calmer. When they returned home from the Netherlands with the World Youth Championship trophy, they were warmly welcomed by the fans at the airport. However, there were not as many people that time as this time. As expected, the national team is different and its influence is much greater than that of the national youth team! The Chinese national football team won a great victory in the East Asian Cup, making fans across the country immersed in joy. And what will make everyone happier is yet to come! In the latest world rankings released by FIFA, the Chinese national football team's ranking soared 15 places, from 69th to 54th. This news made the fans very excited because since 2002, the Chinese national football team's world ranking has never been among the top , and has been getting lower every year. But this year, the Chinese national football team reversed the downward trend and rose by more than ten places. "Could FIFA have made a mistake? How come the Chinese national football team's ranking has improved so much all of a sudden?" Because the Chinese national football team's ranking has improved so much, many fans have begun to doubt themselves. The people know their own business, and they know the level of the Chinese national football team better than anyone else. In their opinion, compared with the ranking in July, the Chinese national football team only participated in the East Asian Cup and played three games. How could it add so many points? FIFA must have made a mistake! But soon someone who knew the relevant scoring rules came out to explain: "The East Asian Cup is a FIFA-certified A-level event. Although there are not many matches, the opponents are all strong. The Japanese team is now ranked 15th and the Korean team is ranked 29th. According to FIFA's points rules, the greater the ranking gap between the two teams in the game, the more points the weaker team will gain after winning. Therefore, the two games in which the Chinese national football team defeated the South Korean team and the Japanese team earned a lot of points for the Chinese national football team! " In order to prove what he said, Dongqiudi also attached the calculation rules: Match result x match level coefficient x region coefficient x opponent ranking coefficient = points According to this calculation formula, the East Asian Cup grade coefficient, the Asian team coefficient, the match results between the Chinese national team and the Japanese and Korean teams, and the ranking difference are substituted into it. The result can be easily calculated: By defeating Japan, the Chinese national team's points increased by points, and by defeating South Korea, the Chinese national team's points increased by points. Due to its relatively low ranking, the North Korean team only added 3 points, and a total of 12 points were added in the three games. The Chinese national football team's original points were 554, and with these 12 points, the total points increased to 566. There are more than 200 teams in the world. Except for the top and bottom teams, most of them are crowded in the middle segment, and often they can surpass several teams by adding one point. So it is not surprising that the Chinese national football team gained 12 points and moved up 15 places in the ranking. Faced with the data presented by the football expert, the skeptics were speechless. "In the final analysis, it is up to the Chinese national football team to strive for excellence. In this scoring period, the Chinese national football team only participated in these three games of the East Asian Cup. If they lose any one of them, they will not be able to enter the top 60!" "It is certainly worth celebrating that the Chinese national football team has improved its ranking, but I am more interested in how many places the South Korean and Japanese teams have dropped after the ranking update."
The South Korean team performed so badly in this East Asian Cup that it is impossible to get extra points. On the contrary, there is a great possibility that they will lose points. After losing points, the ranking will naturally drop, while the Chinese national football team's ranking will rise. As a result, the gap between the two sides will definitely be greatly narrowed. "Haha, I just took a look. After the update, the Korean team's ranking dropped to 35th, 6 places lower than before!" "Really? What a great joy!" "If this happens a few more times, the South Korean team might fall below us!" "Haha, then I'm really looking forward to it!" The points gap between the top-ranked teams is quite large. Dropping six places at once is quite damaging for the South Korean team. I wonder how long it will take to get back up. It would be interesting if the team fails to go up and instead goes in a two-way race with the Chinese national football team. Compared with South Korea, Japan's ranking did not drop much, only falling from 15th to 16th, just one place. In fact, the gap in strength between the Japanese team and the South Korean team is not as big as the ranking. The FIFA ranking cannot truly reflect the gap between teams from different countries and can only be used as a reference. Although the ranking cannot reflect the true strength, the fans of the Chinese national football team are happy. "It's not easy. The Chinese national football team is back in the top 60. In Asia, it should be ranked seventh, right?" "Well, this score just surpasses Kuwait and ranks seventh in Asia. If we work hard, we will hopefully surpass Uzbekistan and get into the top six." "If we make it into the top six, we will be relegated to the second tier in the next Asian Cup. This tier includes West Asian teams such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Once the Chinese national team enters this tier, we will be able to avoid them!" "The West Asian teams are strong, and their home whistles are ridiculous. It's a good thing for the Chinese national team to avoid them!" The Chinese national football team has suffered a lot from West Asian teams, especially in terms of penalty standards. Therefore, the Chinese national football team, including the fans, do not want to meet the West Asian teams on the field. I can’t beat it, I really can’t beat it! "It's a pity that after the East Asian Cup, there are no more official matches to play, so it's hard to get extra points!" "It's okay. We can arrange some friendly matches. FIFA recognizes friendly matches between national teams. These matches are also recognized as A-level matches. Winning or drawing will earn you extra points." The Chinese national football team is in such good shape. If we don't take advantage of this time to score points, it will be difficult to score points when the shape of the national football team declines in the future. “Friendly matches are not difficult, as next year is the World Cup year and many teams will need opponents for warm-up matches. For example, France is in the same group as South Korea, while Brazil is in the same group as Japan. If they want to find a team to familiarize themselves with the style of East Asian teams before the World Cup, then we are undoubtedly the best choice as we are also an East Asian team.” "So there is no need to worry about the Chinese national football team not being able to play against opponents. Maybe many teams will take the initiative to invite the Chinese national football team to play friendly matches in the future!" Hearing that the Chinese national football team will have the opportunity to compete with world-class teams such as Brazil and France, fans are very excited and looking forward to it. The coefficients of European and South American teams are very high. If we can defeat them, the Chinese national team's points will skyrocket! But some people are concerned: "The Brazilian team is now ranked first in the world, and the French team is ranked fifth in the world. If we meet them, we will be beaten badly!" These two teams were the World Cup champions in 1998 and 2002 respectively, and are the favorites to win the next World Cup.
For the Chinese national football team, a team that can't even qualify for the World Cup, to challenge such a top team, isn't that courting death? If we lose too badly, not only will we not get any extra points, but the confidence that the Chinese national football players have worked so hard to build up from the Japanese and Korean teams might even be destroyed. "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Winning or losing is not important. What is important is to intuitively feel the gap between the Chinese national football team and the world's top teams." Facing such a top team, the fans were very relaxed and basically did not expect the Chinese national team to win. "That's right. If we keep stuck in Asia, our national football team won't make any progress. We must catch up with the international advanced level." Forget about the old players, the fans don’t count much on them, but there are many young players in the national football team, and there will be even more young players in the future. These young players need to be taken out to broaden their horizons, and playing against top teams like Brazil and France is a rare opportunity for young players to communicate and learn. "Haha, actually the Chinese national football team may not be without hope of winning. Don't forget, the Chinese national football team is known as the king of warm-up matches. They are not good in regular matches, but they are great in warm-up matches!" I don’t know why, but the Chinese national football team always performs better in warm-up matches than in the main matches. For example, in the 2002 World Cup, the Chinese national football team was defeated 4:0 by Brazil. But in the second year, in a friendly match, the Chinese national team tied the Brazilian team 0:0. The Brazilian team did not let down in this game. Not only did the 3R combination of Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Rivaldo all appear on the field, but even the best newcomer Kaka was there. But they failed to shake the Chinese national team's defense! Facing the same opponent, the Chinese national football team gave different answers. The only difference is probably the nature of the competition! There are many similar competitions. Over time, the Chinese national football team has earned the title of the king of warm-up matches. "I have a plan that can help the national football team turn defeat into victory!" "What's the plan?" "Haha, it's very simple, the exchange tactic!" "When the game starts, send someone to risk getting a card and directly break the legs of their striker, so that no one can score a goal. Can the Chinese national team at least try to get a draw?" "Please be a human being!" Please place your first order! (End of this chapter)
