"The genocidal and anti-human gangsters of North American slave owners must be eliminated!"

Lin Yaodong hesitated for a moment when he got off the bus, but he still didn't say this in front of the whole world.

But after entering the locker room, in front of CCTV cameras, he still shouted out a very discordant slogan that was destined to be cut off and not broadcast on television until forty years later!

Today is already June 21st, and their final group match against the University of Massachusetts will be held at the Jalisco Stadium.

This time the competition venue finally has a bit of a World Cup flavor. The Jalisco Stadium has a maximum capacity of 62,000 people when only 10,000 seats are reserved.

This scale is enough to create a lively atmosphere, but what embarrasses the Chinese players is still the same old problem.

Their supporters today, including a large number of Asian fans, still number less than 20,000.

However, 40,000 Canadian fans crowded in, making today's game an away game for the Chinese team.

In addition, there is another piece of not-so-good news. The last match between the Soviet Union and West Germany ended yesterday, and both sides tacitly ended in a 1:1 draw.

This means that the situation in Group A has been determined. West Germany has secured first place in the group with two wins and a draw, and the Soviet Union has secured second place in the group with one win and two draws.

Even if the Chinese team defeated Canada today, their results of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss would still rank third in the group.

But it is not without good news. The match between the Chinese team and Canada is the last one played in all groups, and most teams in other groups have completed all three games.

This means that they can calculate the goal difference they need to get from the third place in other groups to ensure that they qualify as third in the group.

Now the third place in Group B has been determined to be Spain, with a record of 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss; the third place in Group B is Algeria, with a record of 1 win and 2 losses; the third place in Group D has not yet been determined, with England and

Uruguay's game started an hour and a half earlier than them; Belgium, third in Group E, also had 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss; Portugal, third in Group F, had 2 draws and 1 loss.

This arithmetic problem is easy to solve. Now only the results of the Chinese team and England have not yet been determined. If they can both win, it means that Algeria and Portugal will be eliminated directly, and there will be no need to calculate the goal difference.

This is naturally good news. The Chinese team does not need to win a big victory to qualify, and the difficulty of the game has dropped a lot.

As for today's opponent, the Canadian team, no matter whether they win or lose today, they are destined to be eliminated. Who made them concede too many goals?

So when both sides entered the field, I saw that the Sick Men of Canada were in a very low mood. Even the Canadian fans at the scene simply hoped that their country's team could win a game, or at least score a goal, right?

Canada hasn't scored a single goal yet. If they leave in disgrace with such results, wouldn't they become the laughing stock of the whole world?

At this time, except for Wu Jie who sneezed, all the Chinese players were willing to personally facilitate this matter, although they did not intend to use the tactics that were determined next today.

As long as there are no accidents in this game, their tactics after entering the knockout round will return to the anti-counterattack tactics of the previous competition, that is, through layer-by-layer interceptions starting from the midfield, using chain defense to consume the opponent's offense, and finally find the

The opportunity to use Wu Jie's inhuman counterattack ability to solve the scoring problem.

In the first two games, they used total offense and total defense, leaning more towards a control style of play. This style is naturally unfavorable against Asian teams, and it is an example of winning at the same time.

But with their current strength, they can cope with the third-tier teams at most. Facing the second-tier teams, the outcome will be unpredictable. Against the first-tier teams like West Germany, they will lose their martial arts skills.

suspicion.

Of course, today, facing a team like Canada, which is at a lower level in the fourth tier, they don't need to play so passively.

The key is that in terms of grand strategy, they need a big win to build momentum for the knockout rounds.

Today's Chinese team is different from the last game. Zhen Aiguo is suspended due to a red card. His position is replaced by Wu Qunli. The 11 players are

Frontcourt: Wu Jie (99), Zhao Dayu (85)

Midfielder: Ren Zhihui (86), Wu Qunli (83), Chen Haonan (98), Gu Guangming (85).

Backcourt: Jiang Wei (84), Jia Xiuquan (85), Cui Yonghua (83), Li Junwei (86).

Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong (98).

The state of the Chinese players today is obviously different from the last game. They are basically in a state of explosive growth across the board.

This also shows in disguise that the personal abilities of Canadian players are indeed quite poor. The abilities of several players in the Chinese team have even increased by 3 values. This is already an explosive state.

Of course, this is also because Wu Jie secretly used cards to improve his status.

In China's first two games against the Soviet Union and West Germany, Wu Jie did not use any cards to improve his status.

Of course there is a hidden agenda here. He really doesn't want the team to explode in the group stage.

But today when facing the Canadian team, he used almost more than 20,000 points of cards.

This is not about having money with nowhere to spend it, but rather taking advantage of Canada to start building momentum and deceiving their next opponents.

He did not want to deliberately create a "slow heat", but to be precise, he wanted to "strike ahead".

In fact, both "strike first" and "strike late" have pros and cons, but in the group stage + knockout competition format, no matter how you look at it, the group stage is slow and slow, and it is more appropriate to wait until the knockout stage to strike later and attack in one go.

Especially in a competition format like the World Cup, if a team wants to win the championship, as long as they can qualify in the group stage, is the result really that important?

The top three teams in the second half of the competition this time are all South American teams that lack strong discipline and can easily collapse once a sneak attack succeeds.

Wu Jie hoped that the team he would play against in the knockout round was actually a South American team from the beginning.

Therefore, they only start to exert their efforts from now on, which is obviously more in line with the goal of "winning the championship".

Today's Chinese team's lineup is also very deceptive. It is still not a defensive-oriented formation. On the contrary, the combat strategy is very radical. It looks more like a South American team!

This style of play combined with the courage to show off the sword against the Soviet Union and West Germany in the first two games, I am afraid it will be difficult for the opponents in the knockout round to guess that they will adopt completely opposite tactics.

Canada was timid from the beginning. The 4-5-1 formation they deployed was obviously focused on defensive counterattacks.

But unfortunately, defensive counterattacks are not so easy to fight, otherwise there would be less cases where the weak defeat the strong.

The Canadian team's style of play in North America is not primarily defensive, and the best players in their group are also offensive players.

This is very painful. The Canadian team started to defend from the beginning today, expecting to find opportunities through defensive counterattacks, but soon found that there were not many opportunities to control the ball.

Even the four defenders of the Chinese team were collectively pressed close to the midfield, leaving a large open space behind them that was enviable, but the Canadian players could only stare at it with envy.

Only in the 6th minute of the first half, Wu Jie used a no-look pass to assist Zhao Dayu, who successfully countered offside, to complete the goal. This made the Canadians' mentality crack on the spot!

Wu Jie felt a little sympathetic to the Canadian team at this moment. They were not so miserable in their original position. Although they lost all three games and failed to score a goal, they only lost one goal and conceded one goal against the French team.

The numbers are not that exaggerated.

But the Canadian team in this dimension encountered an opponent that was more cruel and did not intend to show mercy.

Wu Jie did not play the center position on the offensive end today, but played a more advanced free agent role.

But no matter what position he plays, most of Canada's defensive focus is still on him. Even if Wu Jie doesn't get the ball, there are at least two followers around him. When he gets the ball, he can often see four Canadian players approaching him, forming a circle around him.

A very rare encirclement in football.

This gives other players of the Chinese team a lot of room to play, especially since Wu Jie doesn't have much desire to score goals.

Wu Jie really didn't have many goals today. He had already scored three goals in the first two games. He contributed to the three goals scored by the Chinese team in the first two games.

That would put him joint first in the goalscoring charts with Lineker, who had scored again half an hour earlier.

But even if he doesn't have a strong desire to score, the opportunity to score will come to him quickly.

In the 18th minute of the first half, Ren Zhihui, who had performed mediocrely in two consecutive games, finally showed his level as the third player in Ajax. A wide attack that passed two people in a row not only pierced the Canadian wide corridor.

, and also allowed him to create a well-positioned free kick outside the penalty area on the left.

Wu Jie, as the team's indispensable free kick and penalty kick taker, waved his hand towards the back, and then saw Lin Yaodong running over.

"Boss, this position is more suitable for you. Do you really want to punish me?"

Lin Yaodong is a little embarrassed. What he is best at is free kicks in the middle. This ball is slightly to the side and is more suitable for hitting the goal directly with a curve ball.

"Nonsense, this position is obviously more suitable for me, but you can pass the ball to me first, and I will move it to the middle for you!"

Chen Haonan came over and muttered something. Lin Yaodong's eyes immediately lit up and he said nothing more.

The Canadians were very confused at this time. The Chinese team has three top free kick masters. They really don't know how to set up a wall, let alone who to focus on.

Needless to say, Wu Jie and Lin Yaodong, although Chen Haonan is not that famous in free kicks, in fact his success rate of free kicks is also ridiculously high, and he also has the "Full Moon Scimitar" that is unique in the world.

This move is actually the real unique skill at present, because "Elevator Ball" Lin Yaodong can also kick it, but "Full Moon Scimitar" is only mastered and used by Chen Haonan. Although others can also kick it with a wide arc

free kicks, but none, including Wu Jie, were as exaggerated as Chen Haonan.

The Canadians stood at the wall for a long time, and Lin Yaodong impatiently asked the referee if he could serve directly?

Today's referee is from South Africa. I don't know if he has a mission before the game, but even if he has a mission, the Chinese team doesn't care. No matter how bad it is, can it be worse than the Koreans?

The referee indicated that he could serve directly. Lin Yaodong could shoot directly at this time, but he didn't shoot in the most comfortable position. It always felt a bit awkward, so he still kicked the ball to Chen Haonan next to him as planned.

The Canadian players focused most of their energy on Wu Jie, who couldn't hold down two people in the penalty area. This time he stood directly in the penalty area for the free throw. How dare the Canadian players ignore him.

At this time, seeing the Chinese team using a tactical serve, some Canadian players still focused their defense on Wu Jie, while others rushed towards Lin Yaodong who received the turn.

At this time, Zhao Dayu and Ren Zhihui in the penalty area both had opportunities to get the ball, and Wu Qunli on the other side of the penalty area was left open.

Lin Yaodong naturally saw that his teammate was in an open position, which made him hesitate for a moment, but after a moment, he decisively passed the ball to Wu Qunli, who was unguarded outside the penalty area on the right side.

Even Wu Jie and Chen Haonan didn't expect this move, let alone the Canadian players.

Wu Qunli did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and took advantage of the situation and entered the penalty area in two steps. The Canadian players, who were frightened, rushed towards him in a swarm, and then picked the ball to the small penalty area on the left.

This continuous transfer of the ball completely confused the Canadian players. Ren Zhihui rushed to the left side of the penalty area and easily scored the ball into the empty goal with a step-up shot.

After the ball was scored, the Canadian goalkeeper just rushed over from the direction of blocking Wu Qunli and didn't even have time to make a save.

"Why did you play so easily today?"

After many Chinese fans saw the goal scored so quickly, they felt that the Chinese team in today's game was completely different from the previous two games.
