Before Wu Jie entered the dreamland training, he first bought himself an [Elevator Ball Master] skill and upgraded it to four stars, which cost him 23,190 Olympic coins.

This skill allows him to convert long-distance free kicks into "elevator kicks" and increase the success rate of shots after triggering the elevator kick.

Decades later, the main styles of free kicks are "banana ball" and "leaf ball", and "elevator ball" is a variant of "leaf ball".

The characteristic of "Banana Ball" is that it uses arcs in the left and right directions to bypass the human wall. Because the trajectory is similar to the shape of a banana, it is commonly known as "Banana Ball".

The "falling leaf ball" rotates vertically. To simply understand, it draws an arc from above to go around the human wall. Because the trajectory is like a dead leaf falling from the tree, it is called the "falling leaf ball".

The "elevator ball" is a variant of the falling leaf ball. It also goes around the wall from above, but there is almost no rotation during the flight, and the trajectory is also different from the falling leaf ball. It first flies upwards in a diagonal line quickly, and waits until it reaches the goal.

It will suddenly fall with a huge steepness, accompanied by obvious line changes, just like an elevator going up and down suddenly, so it is called "elevator ball".

These three are all unique skills in the field of free kicks. Wu Jie chose the "elevator kick" because it is more suitable for long-distance use, and his shooting power is strong enough. As long as he can kick a successful elevator kick, even if the quality is not particularly high,

Goalkeepers in this era will definitely be caught off guard when encountering such a strange arc.

For these two hundred and fifty hours, Wu Jie continued to use the teams in the Asian fish pond as a human wall in the dream training, and then let the goalkeepers of the Asian teams take turns guarding the goal.

This will allow him to understand each Asian team's position and habits when defending free kicks, including how much the goalkeepers of these teams weigh.

#####

On December 24, the Chinese team faced the second opponent in the group, the Macau team.

Before this game, Wu Jie privately communicated with Rong Zhixing about taking free kicks.

After hearing this, Rong Zhixing looked a little unnatural, but he still nodded and agreed to let him be the first free kick taker.

Wu Jie felt a little regretful. He knew that he must have been too impatient to take the right to take the free kick so quickly, and it also ran counter to the "Emotional Intelligence" he was familiar with.

Rong Zhixing did feel a little uncomfortable. He had already voluntarily given up the right to take penalty kicks to Wu Jie. He originally planned to hand over the right to take free kicks in a year or two.

But he didn't expect Wu Jie to be so impatient, which made Rong Zhixing feel a little unhappy.

That night, the Chinese team faced the Macau team, which was also defensive across the board. In the first half, Chen Jingang and Zhao Dayu each scored a goal.

Wu Jie also got three opportunities to take free kicks. Unfortunately, one of the three free kicks was ridiculously high, one was slightly missed, and one was directly blocked by the wall.

He failed to take advantage of these three free kick opportunities from relatively good positions.

But not many people pay special attention to it, because the success rate of free kicks is not high. As long as the success rate can reach 10%, you can compete for free kickers. 15% is the level of free kick masters, and 20% is already a historical level.

The free kick was level.

In the second half, Wu Jie staged a good show of passing three people in a row, successfully created a penalty kick in the penalty area, and took the penalty himself.

Soon after, he assisted Gu Guangming to score in the penalty area, helping the Chinese team win two consecutive games with an easy 4:0.

In this game, he still played as a free man in the frontcourt. He controlled the ball a lot and for a lot of time. He passed a lot of good balls throughout the game and got one goal and two assists.

At this time, the European scouts who had been observing him had discovered that his position and style of play had changed significantly from those in the Asian Cup. Wu Jie is now not so much a frontcourt free agent, but rather an attacking midfielder.

Location.

They were also very surprised by this change. Wu Jie showed his versatility in the Asian Cup, but they still did not expect that his height of nearly 1.9 meters could be qualified for the attacking midfielder position.

However, Wu Jie's playing style in these two games was very elegant, showing his broad vision and organizational skills. His dribbling was far beyond the level of Asia's top players. Almost no one could intercept his ball without fouling.

With this performance coupled with his efficient shooting ability, European scouts found that they could not find an all-around talent like him. There was no monster like Wu Jie in world football.

Three days later, the Chinese team faced its third opponent in the group stage, the Iraqi team.

Wu Jie still did not score his first free kick. He took a total of four free kicks in this game, two missed the goal, one hit the post, and one was blocked by the goalkeeper.

But it doesn't matter, this match in Iraq is played by ten people.

Less than five minutes into the first half, Wu Jie used a wonderful breakthrough to get a red card outside the penalty area.

After that, the Chinese team kept bombarding the Iraqi goal. The total number of shots in the game was as high as 36, 18 of which were on target.

In the end, Wu Jie scored twice, Zhao Dayu, Rong Zhixing, and Zuo Shusheng each scored one goal. The Chinese team defeated Iraq 5:1.

At this time, the Chinese team has already secured the top two positions in the group. They have won three games and ranked first in the group with 6 points, with a goal difference of 11 goals.

The South Korean team ranks second in the group. They have 5 points with two wins and one draw, and a goal difference of 5 goals.

After losing to the Chinese team, Iraq had one win, one draw and one loss, with only 3 points. It could only compete with South Korea for second place, although there was no difference between second place and third place.

At the post-match press conference, Hong Kong reporters seemed very quiet this time because the Hong Kong team had two losses and one draw, with only 1 point.

If it weren't for Macau, which finished last with three defeats, it would have been eliminated.

Now all blind people know that the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team are not at the same level. At this time, the Chinese team can proudly call itself the only team in Asia.

"If I guess correctly, South Korea will retain its strength in the next game. They definitely hope to use their unique skills in the group finals."

When Wu Jie faced reporters' questions after the game, he said something that disgusted the entire South Korean team.

Because what he said was absolutely correct, Kim Jong-nam did intend to give up this game strategically.

They had been preparing for almost two months to deal with the Chinese team. Of course, they could not use their unique skills in an inconsequential contest.

But if they were fooled by Wu Jie like this, it would be difficult for them to step down. Even if they didn't come up with the ultimate trick, they would definitely have to put in more effort, otherwise they would be beaten by a big score. Not only would they not be able to explain to the country, but their morale would also be damaged.

There is no way to make up for it, and all the tricks you have prepared may not be useful.

Su Yongshun is determined to rotate. He doesn't want to play an inconsequential game with South Korea. It is better to train the young players.

Of course Wu Jie raised his hands to object, but he still had tasks to do.

The Chinese team and South Korea are now only tied at 2:2, which is a no-win, no-loss situation. But if he accidentally loses to South Korea by sending a rotating lineup, he will lose another hundred Olympic coins every day.

When Su Yongshun saw Wu Jie's strong request to play, he could only continue to send out this physically energetic little guy, but he still made some rotations in the main lineup.

On December 30, the Chinese team played the final match of the group stage with South Korea.

This time is a key event related to qualifying for the World Cup. Cha Bum-gen naturally returned from Germany, and South Korea once again showed its strongest combat power.

But this time, the media and fans in South Korea did not dare to be as high-profile as last time. After the Asian Cup, some European media have begun to report on Wu Jie. Although they mostly looked down on his voice, the actions of those wealthy teams

It's enough to show how much they value Wu Jie.

Teams like Frankfurt have no chance to compete. If Wu Jie is willing to go to such a team, he can definitely get a commitment.

At this time, the Asian media was polarized when it came to Wu Jie. Some people praised Wu Jie crazily and wanted to praise him to the sky. The most typical example is Japan.

There are also media in some regions that remain silent and pretend not to see the birth of such a genius in Asia. South Korea and Taiwan are typical examples of this type of pretense.

Of course, there are also some shady media. These are basically from Hong Kong and India. Who knows why?

There are some changes to the lineup sent by the Chinese team tonight

Frontcourt: Yang Yumin, Chen Jingang, Wu Yuhua.

Midfielder: Zuo Shusheng, Wu Jie, Liu Lifu.

Backcourt: Zang Cailing, Jia Xiuquan, Liu Zhicai, Lin Lefeng.

Goalkeeper: Lu Jianren.

After seeing the Chinese team's lineup, South Korea felt happy at first, but then felt humiliated.

Rong Zhixing and Gu Guangming did not play, and the two main central defenders also took turns. They immediately understood that the Chinese team did not intend to take it seriously.

At this time, I was happy that the probability of winning had greatly increased, but I was angry because the Chinese team looked down on others, and this lineup made it clear that they did not take them seriously.

But less than five minutes into the game, the Chinese team took the lead with a free kick headed by Chen Jingang. This time it was Wu Jie who passed the ball for him.

The free kick was not in a good position and Wu Jie did not hit the goal directly, but he did not expect that the first contribution of this technique was an assist.

Chen Jingang ran all over the field and kept slapping himself on the head.

This was the second header he scored in the world preliminaries. Although he also wasted some opportunities, it can still be seen that his header level has improved a lot.

The main contribution in this regard is the Chinese team's "Header Shot" game. Chen Jingang and several defenders have been practicing for almost half a year, and now their header prediction and accuracy have been greatly improved.

Su Yongshun has long used crosses from both wings, as well as headers after corner kicks and free kicks, as one of the team's main scoring weapons.

This trick is very useful when facing Asian teams, because including the West Asian teams, the height of the Asian teams is the current Chinese team, which has seven or eight players over 1.8 meters tall. Wu Jie

He is almost 1.9 meters tall.

Cha Bum-gen watched helplessly as the Chinese team easily broke through his own goal. He couldn't figure out how the Chinese team had become so powerful in just one year.

Is this just because of Wu Jie?

But does one person really have such a big effect on football, an 11-person team sport?

He didn't know that the Chinese team's current mental outlook was completely new, and their training was more scientific and more active. This made their physical fitness, which had always been a weak point, continue to improve, and their self-confidence was almost over the top.

At this time, the Chinese team was basically in a state of green when facing any team in Asia, and everyone was at their best.

But almost all their opponents are prosperous, just like today, most of the South Korean players are in a sluggish competitive state.

This is of course a sign of fear. Now every team in Asia is afraid of the Chinese team.
Chapter completed!
