The Confederations Cup has been held every four years since 2005.
FIFA defines it as a "multi-functional" international event second only to the World Cup, a prelude to the World Cup.
The teams selected for the main draw are the intercontinental champions of each continent, the champions of the previous World Cup, and the host nation.
Another function of this event is to test the host country’s qualifications to host the World Cup.
Since the Confederations Cup was formerly known as the King Fahd Cup, the rich oil kingdom has significantly increased the starting bonus.
The total prize money for the 2017 Confederations Cup is: US$20 million.
The group draw results were released on November 28, 2016.
Group A: Russia, Mexico, Spain, New Zealand.
Group B: Germany, Chile, Australia, Cameroon.
Li Kang did not have any conflicts with Arsenal's senior officials.
There was no farce of internal strife in the arsenal.
Due to the temporary call-up to the national team, he missed the meeting date in Madrid. After communicating with the coaching staff, he decided to fly directly to the national team training ground in Kazan.
Sir Keith Wick personally led a group of Arsenal senior officials to take him to the airport.
"Li, as long as your image rights are involved in the sponsorship fees that major advertisers renew with the club, the money will be transferred to your agency's account normally."
"The large LED screen on the outside of the Emirates Stadium will scroll and play your jersey number forever."
“Your contribution will always be remembered in the Arsenal Museum and Hall of Honors.”
Gazidis spoke calmly, completely forgetting that he had repeated these words several times on the road.
The young Kroenke held Li Kang's left hand and said: "It's a pity that Li has solved some problems. Arsenal will get you back at all costs."
"sorry."
Xiao Ke’s eyes were sincere and his tone was sincere.
The club executives behind him were silent.
If the "palace fight" between Kroenke and his son and Wu Pang and more than 200 shareholders stops, why can't Wenger and Li stay in the arsenal and continue their glory?
A book could be written about Arsenal’s equity dispute: the cash flow at the Emirates Stadium, conspiracy to split shares, localism, bloodline disputes, asset dilemmas, British and American hatred of Soviet and Russian capital, the introduction of the American professional manager system, zero capital injection, Contradictions over equity dividends.
Too many.
A book that cannot be finished even with hundreds of thousands of words.
As for fighting for fourth place and selling the captain and the core of the Triple Crown, they are just the epitome of equity chaos, and Wenger is just the scapegoat to bear the anger of the fans.
In a sense, Arsenal is no longer a club.
The only hope is that in the future, Kroenke and his son will fully control Arsenal, ending the chaos of equity struggles. Even if they only regard the club as a profit tool, they will at least start investing in signings.
"Lee, I'm sorry"
Xiaoke repeated his apology sincerely.
Li Kang smiled.
He didn't take the other person's words seriously.
The transfer process is expected to start after the Confederations Cup ends and the farewell ceremony will also be held during that time.
The words are divided into two parts.
Robert is miserable.
A large number of protesting fans gathered at the Emirates Stadium, holding slogans and posters urging Li Kang to stay.
"Sinner" Robert's photo burned
Extreme fans sent countless "death threat" letters, flooding the office like snowflakes.
Less than two months into his new job as Arsenal's sporting director, he has already experienced the pressure Wenger has endured over the years.
the other side.
Tottenham fans celebrated wildly in bars large and small in North London
He was even more excited than when his mortal enemy set off a "tide of warmth".
"So what if I win the Triple Crown?"
"We will step on us again next season!"
Kazan, temporary training base for the Spanish national team.
The little squirrels were running between two oak trees, stopping from time to time, pricking up their ears and looking at the players in the distance.
"Don't the German team want to send young players for training? Why did they send a lot of main players such as Reus, Kroos, Boateng, and Neuer!"
"The same goes for the Chilean team, the Copa America champions have a full lineup."
"Russia and Mexico are also in trouble."
"The temperature in Kazan is so comfortable. I plan to visit the Annunciation Cathedral and Suyumbeka Tower tomorrow."
"The group of little Russian girls outside the base are really annoying. They ask Li all day long why he hasn't come to report yet."
"Pique, why are you distracted again? What are you thinking about?"
The team members were practicing jumping hoops on the turf, chatting away from one another.
Several older players such as David Silva, Iniesta and Cazorla were not called up due to various reasons.
De Gea glanced at this group of teammates, and he felt unreliable no matter how he looked at them, especially this guy Pique.
The golden glove of this Confederations Cup is on the line.
Mignano is also worried: Spain is just short of a Confederations Cup championship.
In the Confederations Cup final four years ago, the Matadors led by Habaib were defeated by Brazil, scoring three goals and missing the championship.
"Don't think too much. Even if you are eliminated in the group stage, you will still get 2 million US dollars."
The Spanish assistant coach could only comfort himself in this way.
suddenly.
He faintly heard cheers coming from the distance.
Follow the sound.
Bosque and Li Kang, who was wrapped in bandages, were walking slowly.
"plum!"
"plum!"
Teammates abandoned practice and excitedly greeted him along with members of the coaching staff.
Bosque's mustache was raised, his belly was bulging out, and he quickly moved to protect Li Kang.
"Calm down and don't hit Lee!"
"He has just finished his physical examination and is reapplying potions and bandages."
"Don't come around like a swarm of flies, Li is not like that. Bah, bah, bah!"
"Especially you, De Gea!"
"And Isco, what are you doing?"
Mignano stopped the player who rushed towards Li Kang.
He suddenly noticed something: the eyes of the team members regained their energy and confidence.
It turns out that Li is the spring soul of the Matador Corps!
The national team coaching staff made a decision before the trip: they would rather give up a roster candidate than bring the injured Li Kang to Russia!
He is at the helm of the Matador fleet!
Li Kang briefly hugged everyone.
A system notification sounded in my mind.
【Ding! Main mission triggered: Confederations Cup champion! 】
[Mission introduction: A relaxing and enjoyable journey, use your performance to conquer Russian fans! The Chilean team and the German team have sent their main lineups! 】
[Task reward: Federation Cup legendary treasure chest! 】
No pleasantries were exchanged for too long.
Mignano then led him to the dormitory, caring about his injuries along the way.
In this Confederations Cup, according to the plan, Li Kang will not be sent on the field by the coaching staff as the mascot.
After settling in Li Kang’s residence.
Mignano returned to training.
Two team doctors suddenly ran over and handed over the physical examination report.
The coaching staff took a look and were stunned.
"What?"
"Li's hand injury is not serious? He is not Messi, how could he heal so quickly!"
"Is that a mistake? Do you think Arsenal's medical team are veterinarians?"
"No, we can't take risks."
