Wu Jie was not interested in other group games, but he felt very comfortable when he learned that Argentina was defeated by Czechoslovakia 2:1 in the first game of the group and Maradona still did not score.

At this time, no one regarded Maradona as his opponent, and the Barcelona media even felt that they had made a super loss-making deal.

How can a guy who only scored one goal in four games be worth five million dollars?

The two largest local media in Barcelona even believed that it would be more cost-effective to buy Lin Yaodong than to buy Maradona.

The 17-year-old Chinese goalkeeper's performance in the last game against Germany was only better than that of Europe's top goalkeeper Schumacher. If the scope is expanded to this World Cup, Lin Yaodong's performance can still be ranked in the top five among all goalkeepers.

Bit.

But considering that he is only 17 years old, it goes without saying how great his potential is.

When Wu Jie attended the pre-match press conference, he was also asked how he evaluated Maradona. His answer was: "Matthaus is obviously a young talent with higher potential, as well as Lineker of the England team, and me.

My teammates Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, I think they are the best young players of the generation born in the 1960s."

This answer made him couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, but this method was most commonly used by Maradona in his original plane.

After 1986, every time Lao Ma was asked about Platini and Zico, he would deliberately elevate players like Matthaus who would definitely be less evaluated than him in the future, saying many times, "Matthaus is mine."

"The place of my life", this is actually a change of direction that lowers the historical status of Platini and Zico.

Wu Jieduo is nothing. It would be strange not to learn this trick.

So whenever there is an opportunity, Wu Jie will use Platini and Zico who were born in the 50s to suppress Maradona, and then use the talents of the younger generation born in the 60s to suppress him.

But in fact, he has always regarded Maradona as his lifelong enemy, but he will never say such words in his life.

"There's nothing much to say about today's game. Try your best, but don't force it!"

After Wu Jie returned to the locker room, he didn't intend to put pressure on his teammates. He just let him and the two tools do what he did best today.

Although it was the three of them who carried a heavy burden to get here today, at least they all made contributions in qualifying for the first round of the group.

In just two years, these teammates have grown to this point, which has truly exceeded his expectations.

Even if I can't move on, I can still score a perfect score for this World Cup trip.

Besides, there is no chance today.

In football matches, the probability of the weak defeating the strong is not low.

It's just that Camp Nou is still the away game of the Chinese team today. When Wu Jie led the team to the field, the only people supporting them on the scene were the seven or eight thousand fans surrounded by the east stand.

The number of Italian fans is almost the same as the number of German fans in the previous game. Today, the Chinese team is equivalent to traveling from Camp Nou in Germany to Camp Nou in Italy.

The Chinese players glanced around and didn't bother to look up again. The language used to curse them and humiliate them today just changed from German to Italian.

The Italians are also very anti-rabbit, and the story of "Clay Pot Rice" was probably made up by Italians in the first place.

In the 21st century, this rumor is still most popular in Italy, and even high-level government officials use this kind of thing to humiliate rabbits.

This is also one of the reasons why intellectuals and haters curse their own country and nation.

Why do almost no countries in the world like China?

Why does the whole world discriminate against Chinese people?

The world has been a humble rabbit for a long time!

########

The Chinese team’s starting lineup today has changed a lot compared to yesterday——

Left midfielder: Shen Xiangfu.

Right midfielder: Gu Guangming.

Midfielder: Wu Jie.

Midfielder: Zuo Shusheng, Chen Haonan.

Left back: Lu Hongxiang.

Right back: Li Junwei.

Central defenders: Zhu Bo, Jia Xiuquan, Zhen Aiguo.

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong.

The Chinese team once again played a forwardless lineup today, and Wu Jie also replaced Li Junwei again.

Li Junwei didn't perform well in his last appearance, but Wu Jie didn't expect his performance to be amazing. This game was just like paying his tuition.

Zhen Aiguo is also playing for the first time. He is originally best suited to play as a defensive midfielder, but there are too many midfielders, so he can only be allowed to play his second best position. Today, he is also allowed to feel the atmosphere of the World Cup.

He is willing to give these two people a chance, naturally because their potential is high enough.

If nothing else happens, both of them will become the main players of the team in the next World Cup.

So if someone else comes on the field and they're going to get busted, it's better to give them the opportunity to learn.

Italy's lineup has also been adjusted today. In order to deal with the Chinese team, the head coach Enzo, of course, mainly to guard against Wu Jie, who almost scared the whole team three days ago, chose to further strengthen the defense in this battle.

This time he removed attacking midfielder Antonioni, and added Franco Baresi, who had a bad relationship with him, to participate in man-marking, and played a very rare 1-4-3-2 formation.

When Wu Jie saw today's Italian team's starting lineup from the system, his eyelids jumped wildly.

Forward: Francesco Graziani (84)

Forward: Paolo Rossi (90)

Left midfielder: Bruno Conte (87)

Right midfielder: Gabriele Oriali (86)

Midfielder: Marco Tardelli (86)

Centre-back: Franco Baresi (87)

Central defender: Kolovati (89)

Left back: Antonio Cabrini (91)

Right back: Claudio Gentile (87)

Scavenger: Gaetano Scirea (90)

Goalkeeper: Dino Zoff (86)

This lineup is nothing too amazing when looking at the frontcourt and wings, and it's not even the best in Europe.

But if you move your gaze downwards, the reason why Italy was able to rely on defense to win the championship in its original position is basically clear at a glance.

This does not include the two central defenders who will become famous in the future on their bench: Pietro Verchovod (87) and Giuseppe Bergomi (85).

Today's game is the focus of the four groups, because China, the dark horse, has defeated England, France, and Germany one after another. They were all the favorites to win the championship before the game.

Italy will naturally not allow this situation to happen again. There are not many European teams left. If one more team is eliminated by the Chinese team, wouldn't it mean that the other team will conquer all of Europe?

So today, half of Europeans want Italy to suffer the same fate, but the other half regard Italy as the last line of defense to defend Europe's honor. But why does this sentence sound so awkward?

After the game started, the Chinese team kicked off first.

Italy used a concrete defense to make it difficult for the Chinese team to score the ball into the 30-meter area in front of their own goal. The defense line composed of this group of top defenders looked like an iron wall.

The Chinese team did not act recklessly. Wu Jie and his teammates kept pouring the ball in the midfield. They appeared to be very patient.

The Italian players are also not in a hurry. They just press forward appropriately and do not feel that this kind of horizontal passing is a threat. You can pass it as much as you like.

Wu Jie was speechless when he saw this. The Italians did not feel it was embarrassing at all to let the Chinese team dump the ball at will in the midfield. Although they did not give up fighting in the midfield today, they gave up controlling the ball in the midfield.

Wu Jie also didn't expect Italy's style of play to be so brotherly. In the end, he could only dribble the ball and start a breakthrough, ready to test how strong Italy's defense was.

The Italian players clearly learned from the defensive experience of the German team in the previous game. Midfielder Marco was responsible for marking Wu Jie. If Wu Jie dribbled the ball and started a breakthrough, the four defenders immediately moved collectively. Which area he broke through to, the defender in that area would have to move.

To assist in the defensive pincer attack, the scavenger Siraya is responsible for guarding any fish that slip through the line of defense.

This is not a chain defense, but an improved cross-linked defense. However, it is still a very advanced defensive tactic in this era, because the mainstream defensive tactics around the world are still man-to-man.

Wu Jie's breakthrough easily got past Marco, but then he had to face the entire golden defense line. What greeted him was a double defense composed of Marco and one of the defenders.

However, relying on his superb personal ability, Wu Jie still used his exquisite dribbling to attract the defense of Marco and Claudio, and during the defense between the two, he also deceived Marco into shifting his center of gravity, and cleverly moved toward the Italian goalkeeper.

An exquisite through ball came from the direction of the penalty area.

The Chinese team has no forward today, and the two fullbacks need to take on more offensive tasks.

Gu Guangming came to the right side of the penalty area to receive the football. At this time, he was greeted by Sirea's defense.

Gu Guangming swayed with two consecutive fake moves, but the center of gravity of Sirea on the opposite side did not move. He just blocked his breakthrough route and was ready to block long shots at any time.

This kind of defense made Gu Guangming very embarrassed. He knew that if he didn't break through, he would definitely be trapped, so he could only speed up and force a breakthrough.

At this time, the gap in confrontation ability appeared. The experienced Sirrea simply predicted and blocked the position, and then used his body to fight against Gu Guangming. The latter immediately couldn't hold the football at his feet, and Sirrea saw the opportunity to complete it.

Stealing the ball.

The Chinese team immediately returned to defense. Gu Guangming was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he also knew that this was because his explosive power and speed were not good enough.

This kind of sweeper who can wipe the butts of four top defenders has almost perfected his defensive experience and awareness. The most effective way is to use explosive power and speed to deal with it. Otherwise, even if he has the same foot skills as the Brazilians, it will still be difficult to break through this

A defender's defense.
