Chapter 369 This is called bullying the soft and fearing the hard(1/2)
After the Chinese team ended its first game, no matter related to the Soviet team was mentioned from top to bottom.
"Replay" is even less likely to happen. As soon as the World Cup game is over, it will be forgotten immediately, because 80% of the time we will encounter this opponent again.
There is no need to reflect at this time. Except for those few little brats who find it difficult to play, everyone is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles. Don’t they know what’s wrong with them?
Players like Gu Guangming and Jia Xiuquan who are at their peak know their strengths and weaknesses, but they have reached their upper limit and can no longer improve.
What you need to do at this time is to relax, rest, and then focus on the next game.
The Chinese team's next game is on the 17th, which is the day after tomorrow. The opponent is the West Germany team, which is the strongest on paper in the group.
West Germany has something to say. They feel that the schedule is very unfriendly to them.
The first game of the Chinese team is on the 14th, the second game is on the 17th, and the third game is on the 21st. There is plenty of rest time in between, ranking second only to the host Mexico in each group.
West Germany's first game is on the 15th, and then they will play the Chinese team on the 17th. The third game will be played one day earlier than the Chinese team.
This schedule is indeed very unfriendly to the West German team, and many people are betting on the Chinese team to win because of this.
The Chinese team is now very optimistic. Although they tied with the Soviet team in their first game, they had the advantage for most of the game. Most of the statistics compiled after the game showed that the Chinese team had the upper hand.
Reports from all over the world also believe that the Chinese team just lacked luck in scoring, and they should win this game!
Wu Jie knew that West Germany was not easy to deal with. This team had reached three consecutive World Cup finals in 1982, 1986, and 1990. This achievement was unique in the entire history of the World Cup.
The reason why the outside world is so optimistic about China now is mainly because the information circulation is not clear enough, and the impression given by the three of them is too deep.
If we really carefully compare the comprehensive strength of the two sides, there is actually a huge gap between the Chinese team and the West German team!
The coaching staff of the Chinese team understands that there is a gap in strength between the two sides, and during this period they did not allow the players to be exposed to any media reports, including their own media.
Now they only need to focus on adjusting their condition while preparing for the game with peace of mind. As for the overall strength gap, it may not be so serious if they don't think about it. Anyway, even the West German team has misjudged it to a large extent.
The strength of the Chinese team.
######
On June 15th, the West German team, which had been chattering about the schedule, started a match with the Canadian team, which had a travel mentality. The game time was the local afternoon.
This game received far less attention than yesterday's China VS Soviet Union. Except for the broadcast by the countries in the same group, there was basically no third-party country to broadcast it, because everyone knew that there was no suspense about the outcome.
Naturally, the Chinese team, like the Soviets, were watching their strongest opponent in front of the TV. In Wu Jie's sight, the ability values of the players from both teams were even marked.
Of course, this kind of ability value is only a digital reflection of the player's recent competitive status. When it comes to detailing each game, it should not be taken too seriously, because some players can explode into small universes during the game when they are excited, while some players encounter various situations.
Various changes will lead to a decline in status, and these numbers will change at any time during the game.
But no matter what, the West German team is indeed better looking than the Soviet team in terms of numbers.
West Germany's starting lineup——
Frontcourt: Rudy Voller (91), Klaus Allofs (90)
Midfielder: Litbarski (93), Matthaus (94), Algove (88), Wolfgang (90)
Backcourt: Bremer (90), Berthold (88), Karl Heinz (89), Briggel (87)
Goalkeeper: Toni Schumacher (92)
Facing the sick man of North America in the fourth gear today, the West German team still used the default formation of the past two years. There were not many surprises in the formation. Only a 22-year-old Thomas Berthold replaced the veteran.
Norbert Edel serves as the starting central defender, and the starting positions at other positions are within the expectations of the Chinese team's coaching staff.
The coaching staff of the Chinese team attaches great importance to the collection of information on these three teams. At least among the three opponents in the group stage, the general level and playing style of each player, including the coaching style and personality of the head coach, are comparable.
Detailed information also allows them to be more at ease when arranging troops.
This intelligence is naturally attributed to Wu Jie's use of the system to cheat. In this era, intelligence collection is a nerve-wracking task for any team. It is even more difficult to collect intelligence about the Chinese team.
Wu Jie interpreted these overly accurate intelligence sources as "private detectives." The Chinese team's coaching staff had doubts about this, but they did not ask in detail. Wu Jie had to bear the funds for collecting the intelligence anyway, so they just had to accept it in full.
, it was Wu Jie who took the blame for errors in the intelligence.
As for the Canadian team, although Wu Jie also gave detailed information, and the Chinese team did not underestimate the enemy and made serious preparations for the battle, the disdain in his heart still appeared deep in his mind.
But this is not to blame for their contempt for others. West Germany also did not take UC in the eyes. In fact, even UC itself had no intention of qualifying.
The biggest goal these sick men who can't do without herbal medicine has set for themselves is to win a game. But what makes China sick is that the goal these sick men want to win is actually them?
This not only clearly shows that the strength of the Chinese team is not as good as that of the Soviet Union and West Germany, but may also put the strength of the Chinese team on the same level as them.
Therefore, the Chinese team now really wants to meet these drug-addicted sick men that Lin Yaodong talks about as soon as possible, and then let them know what the death group is.
However, the Germans have already taught the Canadian team a lesson. From the first minute of this game, the Canadian players did not feel the joy of the game. Who made them be pushed to the ground and exploded from the very beginning?
hammer!
Wu Jie had already expected this. There were not many big scores in the World Cup group stage, but if you look carefully, you can always find many names of the German team.
This is not to say that the German team is good at playing offensive football. In fact, the German team during this period won most games by small scores.
However, the German team's rigorous and serious playing style means that when they face weak teams or their opponents are in poor condition, they will not relax too much and will still rumble over like a "chariot."
, and then rumbles past you.
When the original Chinese team met Brazil in the 2002 World Cup, not to mention only losing three goals, even losing only two goals was not impossible, because the way Brazilian players look down on you is to show off your skills completely as you please.
He prefers toying with his opponents and is not obsessed with scoring a few goals.
But if they meet the German team, the number of goals they concede will probably be multiplied by at least 2, because the way the Germans look down on you is to ruthlessly ravage you and experience the pleasure of constantly killing their opponents.
The Canadian team felt today what "no feelings" means!
These German players were ruthless in their abuse of food. In the first half, the Canadian team was hit hard by 5 Gustav cannons!
When the Canadian players walked into the tunnel, not only could they no longer see their smiling expressions before the game, many of them could not even recall what they had experienced in the first half, and their heads were empty and blank!
This is actually a stress response after suffering a huge blow. Deep in their brains, they will spontaneously not want to recall those painful images.
"These German guys are really cruel and show no mercy at all!"
"I think the Canadians are too careless. Do they think this is a friendly match?"
"Yes, the strength of the two sides is obviously different. They are still scratching their itch when defending. Are all Canadians so polite?"
"They talk about politeness, but they are more active than Americans. There is no good person on either side!"
Lin Yaodong snorted. Of course he said the last sentence. Not only did it immediately end the discussion, it also made some players who yearned for Canada no longer dare to mention this country in front of him.
The richest man in China knows how to restrain himself abroad, but he does not restrain himself at home.
Who doesn't know that he is an extreme pink rabbit, called "extreme nationalism" in Chen Haonan's words. These players are very careful not to say anything in front of him.
Soon, everyone began to discuss how many goals the Canadians would be given.
Most people feel that if they play at the same pace as in the first half, Canada will be charged at least seven or eight goals in the whole game, and it is not impossible to even score a double-digit score.
Fortunately, no matter how serious the attitude of the Canadians was, they would not still have the same careless attitude after being bullied for five times in the first half.
In the second half, after the Canadian team understood that the Germans would not be merciful at all, they finally adopted a relatively positive attitude in order to prevent an extremely embarrassing defeat!
When the German team saw that the Canadians were working hard, they naturally did not hesitate to use their physical strength just to torture them.
They are not reckless people who don't care about anything. They will face the Chinese team in two days, and they still have to conserve their energy to deal with this powerful enemy.
The final game of 6:0 brought the Canadians to the edge of the pillar of shame. At least it was not as miserable as being tied up, but a 6-goal difference gave West Germany an advantage in qualifying for the group.
Many Chinese fans hold a conspiracy-theoretic view on this. They feel that the Canadian team is simply giving West Germany a goal difference.
What makes the players of these two teams look the same apart from their different shapes and races? Many players look exactly like they were carved out of the same mold, making it impossible to tell them apart.
The Chinese team is indeed under a lot of pressure at this time. West Germany has temporarily ranked first in the group after defeating Canada, and still has a huge goal difference advantage.
This means that they must win the next match against West Germany. Even a draw will put the group qualifying situation into an unfavorable situation.
But it's not without good news. They will have an advantage over West Germany in terms of physical fitness. After all, they can have an extra day of rest.
In the past two days, the Chinese team continued to prepare for the game with peace of mind. Only the three bosses would take a look at the progress of other groups.
Group B is also considered a death group. Italy was upset by Denmark in the first game, and Spain was also tied by Ireland. Both games were upsets.
Italy, the defending champion, has already felt the crisis of being eliminated from the group. Naturally, the value of many stars in the Danish team has soared. Many European media have begun to cheer for the Danish players playing for Arsenal. This is naturally to reduce Wu Jie's role in Arsenal.
function.
There was no upset in Group C. After Mexico defeated Saudi Arabia in the opening game, Paraguay also defeated Algeria by a big score.
England in Group D is also a team that attracts a lot of attention. Their first match against Morocco was highly broadcast, but in the end they were defeated 3:1 by this third-tier team, another big upset.
Brazil and Belgium in Group E each won their first games, making them the only group that did not suffer an upset.
The final Group F is also a death group. France drew with Portugal in the first game, but Argentina beat Hungary 4:0.
Wu Jie didn't pay much attention to Platini, and all his eyes were on Argentina.
Maradona's performance in this battle was very eye-catching. Although he did not score a goal, he performed an extremely rare hat trick of assists, which has to attract his high attention.
To be honest, Maradona's performance was more terrifying than scoring a hat-trick, and it also showed that under his pressure, he probably forged a more terrifying Maradona than his original form.
He watched the game through the system. Maradona's ability to break through with the ball in the midfield was still unsolved, but what worried him most was that Maradona's vision, consciousness and passing penetration ability were all inferior to those of Maradona.
The original plane was even scarier!
Now Maradona has not won a decent championship in Europe, so his influence is not even as good as Chen Haonan, but if he continues to show such outstanding performance, he will soon be compared with him.
To be continued...
