After the Chinese team finished the last game of the group stage, they qualified as third in Group A without any suspense.

This ranking is not good to say, so what Chinese media reports are that "breaking from the group stage for two consecutive World Cups" or "making it to the top 16 for two consecutive World Cups."

These statements sound very respectable. There are not many teams in the world who can guarantee that they can obtain a basic platform like "group qualifying", and there are only a handful of teams that can do it.

Wu Jie was most touched by this. If the Chinese team in his original plane could stabilize the World Cup qualifying, then Chinese fans would probably not even feel tired of 996!

Now, fans in Asia are looking at the Chinese team that qualifies in the group again, and they are so envious and jealous.

It is said that after the World Cup began, the sales of the "Football Young Player" comic began to soar, so many Japanese people can only find some comfort in the comics.

After the Chinese team defeated Canada to qualify, many Chinese people who were scattered around the world and only generously admitted that they were Chinese more than 30 years ago, and many of them once again didn't mind others asking him where he was from.

“a!a!”

This is also the title of the report of many internationally renowned media the next day. Although a team that qualifies for the third place in the group is nothing great, a 10:0 game is very amazing and can become a global hotspot for several consecutive days.

Wu Jie's controversial words after the game also became the headlines of major media scrambling to report the next day.

The reason for this was that a British female journalist with a very small breast after the game asked him: "You led your team to create a great performance that shocked the world. The rapid rise of Chinese football in the 1980s also shocked the whole world. How far are you going to take this team?"

Wu Jie's answer at the time was: "This is indeed a classic battle that is unforgettable, but for Chinese football that is setting sail again, we still need more victory, more classic battles, and championships. As for the ultimate goal in my heart..."

He pretended to be indescribable at this time, and paused before saying, "So, I hope that when fans of any country in the world buy football lottery, if they take out $100 from 1986 and take a part of the profits in every game of the Chinese team to win, then in thirty years, he will have at least one 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 his whimsical words, the scene was completely silent. At that time, countless reporters widened their eyes and looked at Wu Jie on the stage who seemed to have been taking too many drugs.

But no matter how they ask afterwards, Wu Jie no longer answers any questions related to it.

This is obviously just running away after pretending to be a pussy, which is very exciting!

However, to be honest, the Chinese team has not yet pretended to be such a big capital of 13.

Wu Jie also took advantage of a great victory to say that impulsively.

Yes, he also has impulsiveness and no thoughts.

In fact, if you don’t look at the score of this game, the Chinese team only had 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss in the group stage. They didn’t even get the results of qualifying in the top two groups. It was really too arrogant to say this.

But he had already pretended, so he had to lead the team through the eighth finals before he could explain it.

Wu Jie now has a new understanding of the World Cup championship. No team dares to guarantee that they can reach the end of the World Cup. After all, there are uncertainties in a single knockout match, and there are too many factors that can affect the outcome.

But think about it the other way around, this single-game knockout match also gives those teams with not the strongest strength the opportunity to defeat the strong with a weak chance.

Originally, Argentina, which won the World Cup in this World Cup, had no choice but to be in the top three among the 24 teams in this class, and even the top five were in a bad position, but they eventually won the championship.

Then, the Chinese team with three top 10 history also has the possibility of creating miracles from it.

But at this time, you should first take a look at the draw in the eighth finals. According to the knockout rules of this World Cup knockout round, teams in six groups will be divided into upper and lower half areas before the semi-finals, and the opponents in each round will be determined by exaggerating the draw.

Simply put, the team in the upper half of the Chinese team will draw before the semi-finals, and will not meet the team in the upper half before reaching the semi-finals.

In addition, the draw rules give each team with the best results in the group stage according to convention and the first place in each group will not meet in the quarterfinals.

These group top names will determine the draw order according to their respective scores. Among them, the top teams in the top four points will definitely draw four teams that advance to the third place in the group.

The Chinese team's performance is third in Group A in the first half, and their opponent must be one of the three teams with the best results in the group stage in the second 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 Chinese team's opponent in the quarterfinals will definitely choose one of three between Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina, all of which are South American teams.

"We won't draw the Brazilian team?"

After returning to the hotel, the Chinese team gathered together to watch the lottery live broadcast of the knockout match.

At this time, everyone had a bad premonition, because according to the tradition of the Chinese team that they will never draw a good draw, the final draw result can be blindly sniping between the worst and the second bad.

"No need to read it, it must be Brazil!"

Lin Yaodong put 100 US dollars on the table and prepared to open a market that would make sure to make a profit.

But the embarrassing thing is that after a long time, there was no second banknote on the table, and Chinese players don't like to do this.

After Lin Yaodong had a boring question, he could only wait awkwardly for the lottery results.

But there is no suspense about this result. When the Brazilian team's lottery ball was placed with the Chinese team, the Chinese players in front of the TV were not too surprised because they were used to the result.

This scene was naturally filmed by CCTV's film crew, and even the Chinese team's coaching staff discussed how Brazil should play before the lottery started, was recorded.

If this video is released, it will be a naked slap in the face of FIFA.

Of course, this pot will definitely be tied to the Mexicans. Not only did they draw the Poland, which seems to be the weakest in the lower half, they did not use automated machines when drawing lots, but actually used hand-grabbing situations to draw lots.

If you say there is no cheating here, I guess even the Mexicans themselves don't believe it.

"This is not a bad sign. Brazil is now in a period of disagreement. Jike and others are no longer as brave as they were. There are a bunch of veterans in the Samba Legion who are walking down from the peak, and a bunch of young players who have not yet grown up. This is actually a good sign for us!"

"It's right that this Samba Legion is not only old, but the artistic football style they insist on is no longer suitable for modern football. The strongest Brazilian team in history four years ago died under the defense of a solid wall. There is no reason why we can't compare to the Italian team four years ago."

After the lottery results were released, Wu Jie and Lin Yaodong had to stand up and rush toward their teammates with a wave of morale. These words did greatly increase the morale of Chinese players who had just won the "Century Win" again!

Their words will have this effect, mainly because they are not talking nonsense.

If the Brazilians in the last session had the world's number one luxury lineup, then four years later, the Brazilian team will be a group of veterans who are dying, plus a group of newcomers who have just stepped on the stage.

This is also the historical cycle of most teams. The higher a strong team climbs at its peak, the greater the resistance and difficulty of reconstruction.

The popularity, influence and prestige of those older superstars are too high. Even if they are getting older and their level is declining, it will be extremely difficult for newcomers to replace them. No team like the Chinese team dares to bring them to the World Cup.

This situation European teams are no exception, but South American teams will be more serious. They are always stuck in a cycle. Whenever a so-called golden generation emerges in a certain event, the next one is likely to become mediocre.

This session happened to be a relatively mediocre session for the Brazilians. Although the Brazilians are in a fierce group stage, they will hurt a main player in every game.

Of course, a slightly thinner camel is still bigger than a horse, but this has given the Chinese team a chance to kill the Samba Legion, and they have made sufficient preparations for this.

At this time, the Brazilians were worried. After the Chinese team finished the game against West Germany, they only looked at the situation in the second half of the competition and basically confirmed that they were either playing Brazil or Argentina.

The Brazilians did not have such an assist-like prediction. They had never thought they would encounter the Chinese team in advance, and they did not start formal preparations until the draw ended, which put them at a disadvantage in intelligence.

What’s most annoying is that when facing the Chinese team that has been in the limelight in recent years, the Brazilians find themselves confused?

The Brazilian recalled carefully that except for 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 tactical style and Chinese players.

Among this team, only Jiko had a fight with Bayern where Wu Jie was at the club, but because he was injured before the World Cup, he only started once in this World Cup.

This is also one of the advantages of the Chinese team. Their understanding of Brazil is far better than the other party knows themselves.

This is not an ordinary advantage. In a knockout match that determines the outcome, the winning rate of knowing oneself and the enemy can increase at least 20% compared to ignoring nothing.

But no matter whether you understand the Chinese team or not, the Brazilian's playing style will not change, because the proud Samba Legion will never be afraid of a third-level team, and will not face a third-level team and change the artistic style of playing that it has always admired.

So in this quarterfinal, the Brazilians will undoubtedly continue to use offensive football to continue to pursue the perfect game process, and use mercury-like offense and personal improvisation to deal with the Chinese team that actually performed averagely in the group stage, except for the 10:0 that shocked the world.

#######

The next day, Brazil's midfielder Ricardo Aleman publicly provoked Wu Jie, claiming to strip off the disguise suit he was wearing to let everyone see if he was an alien?

This midfielder who had frozen Maradona four years later looked very confident. Of course, the Brazilian team's peak marksman was also confident. Kareca, who scored three goals in three games, also publicly challenged Wu Jie, claiming to pull the Golden Boot off Wu Jie in this game.

Zico, Socrates and Junior, the three "Brazil Four Superstars" who were still in the national team in the early 1980s, were very implicit in the interview and even praised the Chinese team's strong attack power.

Brazilian football godfather, coach Santana, nicknamed "Samba Coach", even gave high praise to the three superstars of the Chinese team.

"I think Wu is the contemporary 'football king'. He showed his absolute dominance like Pele in the club and the national team. No player in the football world today can match him."

But when asked what strategy would be used for the game against the Chinese team, the Brazilian football godfather did not answer positively, but said: "No matter any game, the 22 players on the football field and the football they played should be works of art rather than ugly garbage. Only artistic football can bring instant and lasting happiness to the audience, and this is the highest level of football."

When this was heard by the Chinese team, many people laughed.

This Santana is extremely famous in Brazilian football, so after leading the Golden Generation to lose the Hercules Cup in 1982, he was able to continue to take charge of this "Samba Legion".

If Wu Jie is a fan, he will definitely like Santana, because the team he coaches emphasizes fair competition, advocates offensive football, emphasizes gorgeous technology and personal ability, and plays pleasing to the eye. This is the artistic "samba football".

But the problem is that this style of play had already suffered a Waterloo in the last World Cup facing the Italians' tight concrete defense, although that loss was also related to their own slut.

This year, the "Samba Legion" headed by Santana made a comeback. Although they suffered consecutive injuries in the group stage, they still won consecutive games, playing artistic football they are proud of and pleasing to the eye.

The Chinese team can be sure that Brazil's tactical style will not change. Santana's words are definitely not to fire smoke bombs. Maybe they want to stimulate them and fool them into playing offensive football, and have a refreshing offensive battle with Brazil.

This guess is a bit too simple to think of the other party's plan, but Wu Jie knew that Santana meant this, because they were so excited by the French team in the original plane.

Then, the French team was really caught.

Of course, it may be that both parties know what each other is thinking, but they are just dissatisfied with each other.

So the two teams staged the most exciting offensive battle of this World Cup in the quarterfinals. Not only did they not have a red and yellow card in the whole game, but they even had much fewer fouls than normal games. The rhythm of the normal game was smooth and smooth, as smooth as silky.

But sorry, the Chinese team will definitely not fight against the Brazilians. This is not what they are best at, at least not the area they are best at now.

In fact, when they saw that the top teams in the second half of the competition were all South American countries, they had decided to carry out concrete-like chain defense on the defensive end, and it would be a new version of the ship that was more airtight than the group stage!
