30th of April.
At the People's Stadium in xudu city, Zhongyuan province.
The top 32 in the country were all gathered together. Under the lead of their respective teachers, they were seated in a small area of the northern audience stand.
The national team selection was really "confidential." Whether it was the preliminary match or the semi-final to be held today, only the participating students and staff were present. Whether it was reporters or spectators, they were all shut out.
There were less than 50 people in the top 32 contestants, including their respective teachers. Including the dozens of staff members on the scene, the huge Stadium seemed particularly empty.
However, it was also in this quiet small-scale game that the 10-man list of the national team was about to be decided.
Today was the first round of the top 16 matches, with a total of 16 matches.
