Chapter 15 Worth learning!

The Chinese team beat Hong Kong in the first group stage, which naturally attracted sour reports from Hong Kong media after the game.

Hong Kong people of this era, whether they are the wealthy people who migrated in the early days or the lower class who smuggled in recent decades, still have some memories of their motherland.

However, Hong Kong media has long been controlled by the British, and they are not willing to lose to the Chinese team.

Before the competition began, Hong Kong media deliberately created conflicts between the two sides. In this regard, they learned from John Niu, and their best skills were to spread rumors and smear, as well as act as a messenger for the whole world.

However, things did not develop in the direction that Hong Kong media hoped. At this time, Hong Kong fans were more likely to accept that China had produced a real genius. Wu Jie actually added many fans from Hong Kong through this game.

Especially the "pendulum-like extraordinary" he once again used, this action is not only very easy to attract fans, but also completely confirmed the title of creator of this technology.

This kind of super-hunting movement that does not slow down at high speed is perverted enough. Wu Jie can further speed up after completing the super-hunting. This has never been heard of. Of course, it can only be his unique skill.

Wu Jie is now more concerned about the issue of bonuses. The Kuwait Royal Family has long established a considerable amount of bonuses for the champions in this Asian Cup, and various awards have also been awarded.

The final champion can get a collective reward of 200,000 US dollars, "Golden Boot Award", "Best Player", and "Best Goalkeeper" are single rewards of 50,000 US dollars. In addition, each person who is selected for the "Best Lineup" also has a reward of 10,000 US dollars.

This amount is of course too rich in Chinese!

But for Kuwait, whose per capita GDP was nearly 20,000 US dollars in 1980, this little money was simply a splash of water!

The Kuwait royal family has prepared two million US dollars in special funds for the World Cup qualifiers at the end of the year, while the sports department has prepared only 100,000 yuan for the Chinese team. This is really a complete poor rabbit!

Three days later, the poorest but strongest Chinese team faced their second opponent in the group, the last Asian Cup champion Iran.

But just half a month ago, Iran had already broken out in war with Iraq.

At this time, Iraq is attacking a full-scale attack, while Iran is urgently organizing border defense to resist the invasion with all its might.

Iranian players have received some influence from the war, and although this also motivated them to gain honor for their country, the team's condition is still showing a downward trend.

Wu Jie scored two goals in the first half by relying on his personal ability. He had a strong body, excellent explosive power and speed. With excellent footwork skills, Iranian players could not limit him with two people.

In the second half, Gu Guangming completed another wonderful breakthrough on the right, assisting Zhao Dayu to score in the penalty area.

However, the Iranian team is much stronger than Hong Kong on the offensive end, and even more than South Korea. They have created at least a few threatening shooting opportunities.

Unfortunately, Iranian players wanted to score too much, and their shots were quite powerful several times, but they either missed or had a too straight angle, and were all blocked by Li Fusheng from the goal.

The score of this game was finally frozen at 3:0, and the Chinese team defeated the last championship and won two consecutive victories in the group.

Wu Jie had already booked the "Golden Boot Award" and "Best Player" in advance. Although the number of goals in the preliminary round was not included, he had already scored 5 goals in two group matches, ranking first in the main goal list with an absolute advantage.

Originally, the "Golden Boot" of this Asian Cup was won by Fariba and Choi Chun-ho, and their final goals were 7.

But now Fariba has only scored 1 goal, and Choi Chunho has not scored a goal, so it seems unlikely that he will compete with him at the moment.

In the next game, the Chinese team will face the Asian overlord North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

At this time, Chinese football was not afraid of Korea, but there was a little bit of fear of Korea.

After the founding of New China, China and North Korea have had a total of 9 matches. The Chinese team scored 1 win, 1 draw and 7 losses. This score can be called a slap.

Of course, North Korea knew that the current Chinese team was difficult to deal with, but it still vowed before the game to defeat the Chinese team and turn the record of the two teams into 8 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss!

The North Korean football team has the right to say such things. North Korean football in the 1960s and 1970s has always been the representative of Asia because they were the only ones who have achieved results in the international football field.

In the group stage of the 1966 World Cup in the UK, North Korea defeated the powerful Italy and reached the quarterfinals. This was the first time in the history of the World Cup that an Asian team advanced to the knockout stage in a non-local World Cup.

However, North Korea is similar to Hong Kong now. Both teams are on a downward trend and their performance has not been good in recent years.

Park Dooyi, the hero of the World Cup goal in 1966, is now the head coach of the North Korean team, but he is under great pressure because both leaders are fanatical football fans, and North Korean football has always been responsible for the "face-saving project" to the outside world.

This causes athletes and coaches to be punished if they are not good at playing football and lose face.

Park Dooyi was detained for many charges in his original position because of his poor performance in leading the team. He was sent to the mountainous area to work as a lumberjack for many years.

This is also the source of the joke that later "If you can't kick it well, go dig coal". Although there is no coal mining, being a lumberjack is quite scary.

But Wu Jie often wonders, if Chinese football did this, would it have been long since the beginning of Asia?

Instead of being harmonious with...

It would be better to let the Football Association go down the well to dig coal if they are not good. This should be the easiest and most effective way to solve the problems of the Chinese Football Association.

Of course, this method sometimes has the opposite effect due to too much pressure!

Park Dooyi is now in a dilemma. He wants to attack but is afraid of losing the ball, wants to defend with all his strength but is afraid of losing the ball, which also makes the North Korean team timid in this battle.

However, the Chinese team has played a style of attacking and defending. When attacking, they either attacked from both wings and cooperated in the middle to form a threat; or they slowly poured the ball from the middle to wait for an opportunity to find Wu Jie.

When defending, Wu Jie often withdraws back to the middle to help press. His excellent dribbling skills allow the Chinese team to launch a counterattack as soon as possible after intercepting the ball.

The North Korean team faced the Chinese team with a strong morale and was soon at a disadvantage after the opening, and the middle and both wings were in full swing.

In the 12th minute, Gu Guangming made a cross from the right wing, and Wu Jie headed the ball in the penalty area.

The North Korean defender is stronger than South Korea, but he still has no way to do anything.

After that, the Chinese team firmly controlled the middle lane. Veteran Rong Zhixing also showed off his footwork in the 28th minute, and drifted past two players of the North Korean team and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Chen Xiangfu received the ball from the left position in the penalty area, attracting the attention of the goalkeeper and the defender, assisting Wu Jie to score another goal.

In the second half, the North Korean team finally hit the whole line and started an attack with the Chinese team.

However, the Chinese team quickly began to retract and counterattack, and Wu Jie also returned to the midfield to help the team defend.

At this time, Chinese players will look for Gu Guangming and Shen Xiangfu on both wings as soon as they get the ball on the offensive end, allowing them to use their personal abilities to complete the breakthrough, while Wu Jie responds and pulls in the middle.

Wu Jie, who did not dare to relax in the middle, naturally could not divide his troops to support him, which made the two wings of the Chinese team frequently stage a good show of riding alone in the second half.

The North Korean team's defense line is first-class in Asia, but in the face of Gu Guangming's unreasonable emergency stop and Chen Xiangfu's rhythmic breakthrough, the two sides were still sieve.

In the 64th minute of the second half, the best goal in the game appeared.

Wu Jie subtly stopped Gu Guangming's bottom cross from outside the boundary area, and then used a "Cruyff Turn" to trick the defender into the penalty area, and directly shot the ball into the dead corner of the goal.

The North Korean goalkeeper faced this tricky and extremely fast shot, and finally experienced the despair of his colleagues in the South Baseball League.

After the goal was scored, many Kuwait fans in the stadium even raised the portrait of Wu Jie that they got from somewhere.

These Kuwaits have made great goals in every game, and many of them have become his fans.

After Wu Jie completed the hat trick again, he started a real walk, but North Korean players still dared not relax their defense against him.

Zhao Dayu got a chance in the 78th minute. He received a breakthrough pass from Gu Guangming, and used outstanding skills to drift past a North Korean player in the penalty area. He immediately scored a goal with a strong shot. The Chinese team widened the score to 4:0.

The goal was also very beautiful. Not only Wu Jie, the Chinese team's outstanding forwards, but Zhao Dayu's speed and explosiveness are not good because of drinking all year round, but his skills are outstanding, his human-ball combination is very good, and his shooting skills are also quite exquisite.

If Zhao Dayu could get rid of his alcoholism, his speed, explosiveness and physical fitness would be better. At that time, he would be perfect as Wu Jie's partner.

The North Korean team could only comfort themselves after the game. At least they completed a goal at the end of the game and finally scored 1:4, which was much better than South Korea.

Wu Jie still respects this team very much. Their strength is similar to that of South Korea and Iran, but their physical fitness and fighting will be even better.

After the Chinese team played for 80 minutes, their physical fitness had actually reached the critical point.

The North Korean team took advantage of the opportunity of Chinese players' physical fitness decline to complete the goal!

And this is the flaw that the Chinese team must solve!

Just imagine, if he was replaced with another striker today, could the Chinese team take the lead shortly after the opening game?

The three goals he scored today would be difficult to score by other strikers in the team.

Or, are they against the teams in the World Cup?

At that time, it was difficult for him to rely on his personal abilities to help the team lead, but he might be able to score goals first by his opponent.

If this is the case, they will not be able to play a defensive counterattack, and everything will likely be completely different.
