Chapter 376: Art football?
After the Chinese team finished the last match of the group stage, they qualified in Group A without any suspense.
This ranking is not pleasant to say, so the Chinese media reported that "two consecutive World Cups broke through the group stage" or "two consecutive World Cups have reached at least the top 16".
These statements sound very shameful. There are not many teams in the world that can guarantee a basic set of "group qualifying", and there are really only a handful of teams that can do it.
Wu Jie has the deepest feelings about this. If his original Chinese team can stabilize the World Cup group qualifying, then the Chinese fans are afraid that even 996 will not feel tired!
Now the fans all over Asia look at the Chinese team that has qualified for the group again, not to mention how envious and jealous they are.
It is said that after the start of the World Cup, the sales of "Captain Tsubasa" comics have skyrocketed. Many Japanese people can only find some comfort in the comics.
After the Chinese team defeated Canada to qualify, many of them were scattered all over the world. They only generously admitted that they were Chinese more than 30 years ago. Many of them don't mind people asking where he is from again.
"China! China! China!"
This is also the headline of many well-known international media reports on the second day. Although the third-ranked team in a group is nothing remarkable, a 10:0 game is very remarkable and can become a global hot spot for several consecutive days.
Wu Jie’s controversial post-match remarks became the headlines of various media rushing to report the next day.
The reason for these remarks was that a British female reporter with a very small chest asked him: "You led your team to create a great performance that shocked the world. The rapid rise of Chinese football in the 1980s was the same. Shocked the world, where do you intend to take this team?"
Wu Jie's answer at the time was: "This is indeed a classic battle that is hard to forget, but for the Chinese football that is re-starting, we still need more victories, more classic battles, and championships. As for my heart final goal……"
At this time, he pretended to be unspeakable, and said after a pause: “Let’s put it this way, I hope that when football fans from any country in the world buy football lottery, if they spend 100 dollars starting in 1986, every time the Chinese team All of his games are betting part of the proceeds to buy us to win, then 30 years later, he will have at least a million dollars, or even millions of dollars in pension. And this is what I hope to lead this team to do ."
When Wu Jie finished these whimsical remarks, the scene was completely silent. At that time, countless reporters had their eyes widened, looking at the Wu Jie who seemed to be taking drugs too much.
But no matter how they asked afterwards, Wu Jie would not answer any questions related to it.
This is obviously to run away after pretending it is very exciting!
However, to be honest, the Chinese team has not installed such a big capital of 13.
Wu Jie also said that impulsively with the help of an extraordinary victory.
Yes, he is impulsive and unthinking.
In fact, I don’t look at the scores of this game. The Chinese team only scored 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage. Even the first two groups did not get the results of qualifying. It is really too big to say this.
But the force has been installed, at least he has to lead the team through the eighth finals to explain.
Wu Jie now has a new understanding of the World Cup championship. No team dare to pack up tickets to reach the end of the World Cup. After all, a single knockout match is full of uncertainty, and there are too many factors that can affect the outcome. too much.
But think about it the other way around. This kind of single knockout also gives those teams that are not the strongest in terms of hard power a chance to win with the weak.
Argentina, who originally won the World Cup this year, their hard power absolutely couldn't make it into the top three among the 24 teams this year, and even the top five were enough, but they finally won the championship.
So there are three historical TOP10 Chinese teams, of course, it is also possible to create miracles from them.
But at this time, we must first take a look at the draw of the eighth-finals. According to the elimination grouping rules of this World Cup, the teams in the six groups will be divided into the upper and lower halves before the semi-finals, and each group will be decided by the draw. The opponent of the round.
To put it simply, before the semi-finals where the Chinese team is in the upper half of the team, they will be drawn from the lower half of the team, at least they will not meet the upper half of the team before reaching the semifinals.
In addition, the rules of the lottery have traditionally given each team with the best results in the group stage some preferential treatment. The first place in each group will not meet in the eighth finals.
The top-ranking teams of these groups will determine the order of draw according to their respective results. The top-four teams in the top four teams will definitely be drawn to four teams that advance to the third place in the group.
The result of the Chinese team is third in Group A in the upper half, and their opponent must be one of the three best teams in the group stage in the lower half.
At this time, you can look at all the teams that qualify——
Group A: West Germany, Soviet Union, China
Group B: Denmark, Italy, Spain
Group C: Mexico, Paraguay
Group D: Uruguay, England, Morocco
Group E: Brazil, Belgium, Poland
Group F: Argentina, France
This qualifying situation means that the opponents of the Chinese team in the eighth-finals will definitely choose one of three among Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina, all of which are teams from South America.
"Should we not be drawn to the Brazil team?"
After returning to the hotel, the Chinese team gathered together to watch the live broadcast of the knockout draw.
At this time, everyone has a bad feeling, because according to the Chinese team’s tradition that a good lot will never be drawn, the final draw result can be blindly between the worst and the second.
"Don't look at it, it must be Brazil!"
Lin Yaodong put one hundred dollars on the table, ready to open a market that won't lose money.
But the embarrassing thing is that after a long time, the second banknote was not seen on that table. Chinese players don't like to do this.
After Lin Yaodong had a boring discussion, he could only wait awkwardly for the result of the draw.
But this result is really not suspenseful. When the Brazilian team's colored ball was placed with the Chinese team, the Chinese players in front of TV were not too surprised, because they were used to this result.
This scene was naturally filmed by the CCTV camera crew, and even the scene where the Chinese coaching staff discussed how the Brazilian team should play before the draw started.
If this video is released, it would really be a naked face slap to FIFA.
Of course, this pot will definitely be detained on the Mexicans. Who made them not only draw to Poland, which seems to be the weakest in the lower half, but also did not use automated machines when drawing lots. They were actually grabbing hands to draw lots.
If there is no cheating here, I guess even the Mexicans don’t believe it.
"This is not a bad lottery. Now this Brazilian team is in a period of failure. Zico and others have long lost their courage. There are a bunch of veterans in the Samba Army who are coming down from the peak, with a bunch of veterans who have not grown up. The young guy who is up, this is a good sign for us!"
"That’s right, this Samba team is not only old, but the artistic football they insist on is no longer suitable for modern football. Four years ago, the strongest Brazilian team in history died under the defense of a bronze wall. We have no reason. No better than the Italy four years ago."
Wu Jie and Lin Yaodong after the draw result came out, of course they had to stand up and rush to their teammates for a wave of morale. These words really made the morale of the Chinese players who just won the "Grand Victory of the Century" increased again!
Their words will have this effect, mainly because they are not talking nonsense.
If the last Brazilian had the best lineup in the world, the Brazilian team after four years has passed is a group of veterans who are dying, plus a group of newcomers who have just stepped onto the stage.
This is also the historical cycle of most teams. The higher a strong team climbs at the peak, the greater the resistance and difficulty of reconstruction.
Those aging stars are too high in popularity, influence, and prestige. Even if they are getting older and their standards are declining, it is extremely difficult for newcomers to replace them. How can a team be like the Chinese team. The eight-year-old rookie dares to take it to the World Cup.
This situation is no exception for European teams, but South American teams will be more serious. They always fall into a loop. Whenever a so-called golden generation emerges in a certain tournament, the next one is likely to become mediocre.
This year happens to be a relatively mediocre time for the Brazilians, and don't look at the Brazilians' fierce momentum in the group stage, but every game will hurt a main force.
Of course, the slightly thinner camel is still bigger than the horse, but this has given the Chinese team a chance to kill the Samba Army, and they have made sufficient preparations for this.
At this time, the trouble is the Brazilian. After the game with West Germany, the Chinese team only took a look at the situation in the second half of the division, and it was basically determined that it was not playing Brazil, but definitely playing Argentina.
The Brazilians do not have such an assist-like prediction. They had no idea that they would encounter the Chinese team beforehand. They did not start formal preparations until the draw was over, which made them a step ahead in intelligence.
The most painful thing is that in the face of the Chinese team, which has been in the limelight in recent years, the Brazilian found himself confused?
The Brazilians recalled carefully. Apart from playing a friendly match in China under the leadership of Pele in 1977, they seemed to have never played against China again?
They have very limited understanding of the Chinese team's tactics and the Chinese players.
In this team, only Zico played against Bayern where Wu Jie was at the club that year, but because he was injured before the World Cup, he only started once in this World Cup.
This is also one of the strengths of the Chinese team. Their understanding of Brazil is far better than the other's understanding of themselves.
This is not a general advantage. In a knockout game where the winner is determined, the winning rate of knowing yourself and the enemy can be at least 20% higher than knowing nothing.
But regardless of whether you understand the Chinese team or not, the Brazilian's style of play will not change, because the proud Samba Army will never fear a third-tier team, let alone face a third-tier team. Just change the art of playing that I have always admired.
Therefore, in this eighth final, the Brazilian will undoubtedly continue to use offensive football, continue to pursue the perfect game process, mercury-like attacks and personal improvisations, to deal with the world-shocked 10 Outside of 0, the Chinese team is actually an average performer in the group stage.
######
The next day, Brazil’s midfielder Ricardo Alemão publicly provoked Wu Jie, claiming to strip off the camouflage suit he was wearing, and let everyone see if he was an alien?
The original plane froze Maradona's midfielder after four years and looks confident. Of course, he is confident that the Brazilian striker at the peak of the game, Carreca, who scored three goals in three games, Also publicly challenged Wu Jie, claiming to take off the golden boots from Wu Jie in this game.
Zico, Socrates, and Juniol, the three “Brazil Four Superstars” who were still in the national team in the early 1980s, were very subtle in the interview and even praised the powerful offensive power of the Chinese team.
The godfather of Brazilian football and the coach Santana, nicknamed "Samba Grand Marshal", gave a very high evaluation to the three superstars of the Chinese team.
"I think Wu is the contemporary'king of the ball'. Whether in the club or the national team, he has shown the absolute dominance of Pele, and no player in today's football can match him."
But when asked about the strategy used in the match against the Chinese team, the Brazilian football godfather did not answer directly. Instead, he said: "No matter any game, the 22 players on the football field and the football they play should be art. Product rather than ugly garbage. Only artistic football can bring instant and lasting happiness to the audience. This is the highest state of football."
When these words reached the Chinese team's ears, many people laughed.
This Santana has a very high reputation in Brazilian football, so he was able to continue to take charge of the "Samba Army" after leading the Golden Generation to lose the Hercules Cup in 1982.
If Wu Jie is a fan, he will definitely like Santana, because the team he coaches emphasizes fair play, advocating offensive football, emphasizing gorgeous skills and personal ability, and playing pleasing to the eye. This is the artistic "samba football" ".
But the problem is that this style of play had already encountered a waterloo in the last World Cup against the Italians' tight concrete defense, even though that defeat was also related to their own waves.
This year, the "Samba Legion" under the control of Santana made a comeback. Although they suffered a series of injuries in the group stage, they still won consecutive games and played their proud and pleasing artistic football.
The Chinese team can be sure that Brazil’s tactical style will not change. Santana’s remarks by UU reading www.uukanshu.com are by no means smoke bombs. Maybe they want to arouse them. Fudge, they also play offensive football and come with Brazil. There was a hearty confrontation battle.
This guess is a bit too simple to think of the opponent's strategy, but Wu Jie knows that Santana means this, because they are so excited about the French team.
Then, the French team was really hit.
Of course, it may also be that the two sides know each other's thoughts, but they just refuse to accept each other.
So the two teams staged the most hearty offensive battle of this World Cup in the quarter-finals. Not only was there no red or yellow card, but the number of fouls was much less than the normal game. The rhythm of the normal game. It can be called flowing water, as smooth as silk.
But I'm sorry, the Chinese team will definitely not fight against the Brazilians. This is not where they are best, at least not in the area they are best at now.
In fact, when they saw that the top teams in the second half of the division were all South American countries, they had already decided to deploy a concrete chain defense on the defensive end, and it would be a new version of the ship that is more encrypted and airtight than the group stage!
"Artistic football?" At the last tactical meeting the day before the game, Lin Yaodong once again mobilized in front of the CCTV camera crew for tomorrow's tactical play that could not be broadcast. "Brazilians like to do art, so let's do Brazil , This is called in-depth art."
