After the first match day of the quarter-finals, the first two teams to qualify were Argentina and Spain.

The match between France and Italy was held in the afternoon of the next day. The Chinese players were puzzled as to why these two countries with the same origin were at each other's throats all day long, but they could see that the two sides were in a tense state from before the game.

, the game really had the flavor of Mars crashing into the Earth.

But I have to say that the Italian team this time is really stretched. Even if they change the "concrete defense" they are good at to the "butcher defense" and continue to use rough performances to deal with the French, they still cannot prevent themselves from quickly falling into a disadvantage.

fact.

The reason is very simple. The Italian team led by the famous Italian coach Azeglio has also entered the season of replacement between the old and the new. But the problem is that the old generation has begun to decline. When the more energetic new generation lacks experience, the team will be determined.

The upper limit of the Mesozoic Era was completely torn apart.

The impression given by the Italian team in this World Cup is still defense, but it is a "barbaric + rough" defense. There is no defensive art at all, only utter ugliness and badness.

The Italians don't want to make things look so ugly. They have tried their best to consider the balance between veterans, Mesozoic and rookies when selecting the lineup. Unfortunately, the reality leaves them with not much room for choice.

The Italians unexpectedly won the last World Cup, mainly because of the fantastic performance of the young generation led by Rossi. They were supposed to be the Mesozoic generation that carried the title this time, but those young people who shocked the world back then,

In the past four years, either he turned into a shooting star like Rossi, or he had to miss due to injuries.

So it's like this now. The veterans are no longer at their peak, the rookies still lack experience, and the Mesozoic generation of the main force has stretched their hips.

These troubles prevented the Italians from even reaching the top eight in the original plane. Although they made it to the top eight in this plane, they are really as good as Mexico, and probably even worse.

In addition, in Wu Jie's opinion, the Italian team's defensive system has not changed much from the previous one. Azeglio did not make many improvements to his winning tactics. He chose to be conservative.

This is quite reasonable. No matter what sport it is, few championship teams take the initiative to make changes. At most, they just make small improvements.

This is also the reason why no team can prosper for a long time. After all, no matter how advanced the tactics are, they cannot withstand the study of opponents day after day. Weaknesses will definitely be gradually discovered. Besides, the level of players will decline sooner or later. Italy

It is not difficult to understand that people can collapse so completely.

The Chinese team also took advantage of this. Their chain defense was not considered to have much to do with Italy, because this tactic was still quite different from the Italian team.

As for the outcome of this game, as long as you think about the Italian team's defense that has been thoroughly studied by Europeans, and the worst part is that the players who executed it are not good enough, you already have the answer.

Under Platini's organization and dispatch, the French scored in the 16th minute of the first half. Since then, they have been suppressing the Italians, and finally scored again in the 60th minute.

The Italians were losing again and again. Inter Milan's young central defender Ricardo Ferri replaced Baresi who was injured in the first game in the group stage. His performance can only be said to be too young.

Today he chose to use fierce defense to deal with the Frenchman, but unfortunately he was too conspicuous. In the first half, he was shown a yellow card for a malicious shovel, and in the second half, he was given a red card for a malicious foul on Platini.

Down.

At this time, the outcome was no longer in suspense. With hundreds of years of accumulated hatred towards the Italians, the French finally, under the leadership of an Italian, scored once again before the end and defended the title with a 3:0 victory.

The champion is eliminated!

"Haha, the French can only win the war under the leadership of dwarfs, women and foreigners!"

“This Italian team is really good!”

"Whoever says our defense is copying Italy's, let him come and watch this game!"

"I think the Third Master said that?"

"Impossible, you must have heard wrong!"

"..."

The Chinese players enjoyed watching this excitement, and now they all regret not being able to meet this Italian team.

There is no shadow of the previous championship here. Not only was the game ugly, but the loss was even more ugly!

Lin Yaodong was slapped in the face after he said that sentence that made fun of the French, but he has not said anything good about Italy recently. This was Wu Jie's reminder to him.

Of course, the Chinese team's defense was originally copied from Italy. Wu Jie also said in the team that this defensive system was learned and improved from the Italian team.

But later he stopped saying that. On the one hand, it was because the Italian team's defense truly brilliant era began after the defeat in this World Cup.

The Chinese team in this dimension is going to replace Italy in many places, so Wu Jie plans to learn what the Koreans and Japanese do in the original dimension.

Koreans like to modify history, and the practice of robbing history is certainly despicable, but frankly speaking, as long as China cannot surpass the United States and regain its right to speak in the world, then this kind of modification and plundering will not stop, and the effect will be absolutely

It should not be underestimated. Over time, not only people themselves believe it, but maybe the whole world except China believes it, and even some Chinese people believe it. Who makes your voice heard by no one?

We can also learn from the Japanese approach. They are also good at revising history, but they are better at belittling their opponents and deceiving themselves at the same time. Now they completely ignore their one or two thousand years of lagging behind and directly regard their short-term lead of one or two hundred years as their own.

Forever, and then forcibly brand the Chinese as an inferior nation. No matter what others think, they believe it anyway. Even countless Chinese did not have doubts about the story of Tokyo Bay until 2020.

Wu Jie despised these practices in his previous life, but he had to admit that they were very effective.

The same is true for Chinese football. The Japanese were able to turn the "Sinophobia" they have suffered from for more than half a century into "ancient Sinophobia" in just 30 years. Even Chinese fans don't think there is anything wrong here.

How could he not learn from such a good example?

This is reality. As long as you are strong enough, you are qualified to claim "since ancient times". Even if it is not possible for a short time, as long as you can be ahead for decades or hundreds of years, no one will remember the glory of your ancestors.

You may not remember it yourself, and the history that has been tampered with becomes the real history!

China has been strong for thousands of years, but in modern times it has only been weak for more than a hundred years, which has given its neighbors an inexplicable sense of national superiority.

The birth of truly modern football is less than a century old. As long as Chinese football can continue to be strong for more than ten years, it is enough to claim that it has "since ancient times".

You Dutch and Italians are just copying us. If you don’t accept it, come and fight!

With this extreme idea in mind, Wu Jie quickly cast an evil eye on England.

He no longer needs to suppress this opponent. At this time, not only the neutral fans feel that England cannot beat China, but even the British fans have no confidence.

Who among the European teams is most afraid of the Chinese team?

England can claim to be second, while Denmark and Spain can only claim to be third and fourth.

There is a sense of pessimism even in the England team, which makes every player here a loser under Wu Jie, or a club boy with admiration.

England's coaching staff is also very familiar with Wu Jie, including the two superstars who have begun to form a two-hero competition in La Liga. They also have overwhelming records against English clubs.

This is one of the reasons why everyone in England has no confidence. Wu Jie was the number one nemesis of English clubs when he was in West Germany. But what is even more embarrassing is that Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong are close behind. They have never been in Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Lost to a English League One team.

Therefore, Bobby Robson had to choose to move the entire formation back 20 meters when arranging his troops before the game.

This is to directly set up a dense defensive formation. It can also be said that in order to limit the performance of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, the British had to sacrifice the balance of the overall formation and retreat as a whole in order to form a local numerical advantage to contain these two superstars.

of performance.

As for offense, of course you can only use speed to defend and counterattack.

Robson still has some confidence in this style of play. Speed ​​is always the magic weapon for England to defeat the enemy. This time they also have Lineker who is at his peak. There is no need to worry about the scoring efficiency. The main thing is whether he can guard against the alien.

.

The question now is this, can they use their numerical advantage to restrict Wu Jie and Chen Haonan?

In addition, what style of play will the Chinese team choose in this game?

Will the Chinese also choose to put defense first?

The whole world wants to know the question that the English people have been thinking about before the game.

The Chinese team's style of play when facing Brazil in the last round can be called an enhanced version of Italy. After the game, many critics believed that the Chinese team's style of play in defeating Brazil was an evolved version of Italy's tactics when they defeated Brazil in the last round.

.

The Chinese will not only use this trump card once, but will probably continue to use it against England.

This view is considered reasonable and fair, because it is the correct answer.

But the Chinese team's tactics will not remain unchanged because they have no coach at all!

Saying this will make Nian Weisi very embarrassed, but it is also true!

The Chinese team does not need a coach at all. Lin Yaodong is the coach of the defense line on the court. The entire defense line is like his two arms, completely under his control.

Chen Haonan is not only the metronome of the team, controlling the offensive and defensive rhythm, but the center is also completely under his control. He is the midfield coach of the Chinese team.

On the contrary, Wu Jie has no need for command. Under normal circumstances, he is really a free man. He can go wherever he likes and fight however he likes. The teammates behind him will actively cooperate.

In this case, of course there is no need for a head coach. The Chinese team has always fought based on real-time changes on the field.

This also includes the tactical play of each game, which will also be adjusted according to different opponents.

If they are facing West Germany, Spain, and France, they will indeed use a new version of defense to face the enemy like they did in the last game. These teams will not be able to find a way to crack it in a short time.

But if the opponent becomes England, then the Chinese team does not need to be too conservative. They can fully utilize the overall technical level raised by Wu Jie and Chen Haonan and adopt a control style of play to deal with the British.

The UK would not have guessed that China would be so inappropriate, because the control style of play has always been a tactic chosen by a strong team when playing against a weak team. The Chinese team is not a team that specializes in this style. This obviously means that they do not put English football aside.

It's in my eyes.

But it’s not to blame the British for not thinking carefully. The Chinese team is the only one in the world that can change its tactics according to each opponent.

In fact, without the three great gods, the Chinese team would not be able to play like this, no matter how solid their basic skills are.

A team and a style are just like a person who specializes in one field to achieve something. The result of greed for too much can only be miscellaneous but not refined.

But Wu Jie and his tools have rich experience that ordinary people cannot have, so this kind of omnipotence is possible.

Wu Jie has also always developed the teammates other than the three to be tool players with solid basic skills. At that time, whatever style the three of them played was the style of the younger brothers. Anyway, it was not dependent on them to succeed Kerry.
