This schedule is naturally not good for the Chinese team, because it means that France and the United Kingdom can rest one or two days more between the two games, including Czechoslovakia, which also has one more day off than the Chinese team. The biggest disadvantage of these four teams is Chinese team.

But this is impossible. The Chinese Football Association has long protested against this schedule, but FIFA said: The schedule of the six groups is arranged in this way, and all fourth-tier teams suffer the same. Since others can do it, you Why not?

What else can I say, although everyone knows that even if the Chinese team is a first-tier team, [-]% of them will still be arranged in such a schedule.

But one thing must be done, that is, yesterday's Polish lineman must be unlucky.

After the game, Wu Jie bought a gold-level [Misfortune Link Card] and posted it on him, and then a bunch of recovery cards of the same level were used by the starters to help them recover their physical fitness as soon as possible.

After a day's rest, the Chinese team immediately entered the preparations for the second game.

Czechoslovakia is different from England and France. This team is not so outstanding in terms of individual ability, but it is almost better in terms of execution, teamwork, and discipline.

This is related to the fact that their domestic leagues are not as developed as Britain and France. The more developed the domestic professional leagues in Europe, the more likely the level of the national team will be affected by both sides.

Although countries such as Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Spain can rely on successful commercialized leagues to create a better football atmosphere and produce more stars to strengthen their influence in the world.

But the training time of the national team is naturally less. The biggest impact is that it is often difficult for the stars to show enough chemical reactions.

Czechoslovakia was able to draw with France in the first game. A large part of the reason was that they relied on better teamwork to offset the gap in personal ability.

It is likely that the Chinese team will be more difficult to play against this kind of team, because Czechoslovakia's personal ability is only half a step behind England and France. Compared with the Chinese team, it still has a lot of advantages overall, and it has advantages in many aspects. .

After much deliberation, Wu Jie decided to play the 4-5-1 defensive tactic the safest. He must not fight Czechoslovakia in a positional battle, nor can he start a confrontation with the opponent.

The morale of the Chinese players is very high. They defeated the famous England in the first game. They scored goals and won the victory. In fact, they have completed the tasks set before the expedition.

Then you can let go of your hands and feet to do it, and it will not lose anyway.

During the team's preparations, Wu Jie also took the time to watch a game between Argentina and Belgium.

At this time, Maradona was already at the level of an "idol star" in Argentina. All Argentines regarded him as the only genius of the same period who could compete with Wu Jie. This World Cup is expecting him to play a better country than Wu Jie. Team performance proves itself.

Now the media in Catalonia has also exposed that Maradona has transferred to the Barcelona club for a record $600 million worth.

This number is a little lower than the original plane, of course, because Wu Jie's performance was amazing, and Chen Haonan's performance in La Liga last season was also amazing.

But their transfer fees are not that high. Wu Jie's time is two years too early, and Chen Haonan transferred to Real Madrid last year with a worth of 200 million US dollars.

On the contrary, Maradona failed to create the sky-high transfer fee of 900 million U.S. dollars in the original plane.

Maradona naturally wants to prove himself in this World Cup. Fans in Argentina and Barcelona are also looking forward to his amazing performance, but the results often backfire.

In this battle, the Argentine team was in a downturn, and Maradona did not perform as well as everyone expected. In the end, Argentina lost to Belgium 0-1. The record of one draw and one loss made their prospects for qualifying become worrying.

But for fans in these two places, the worst news is not that they lost 2 points in this game, but that Belgium prevented the Argentine genius who had high hopes.

Of course, Belgium can prevent Maradona, and their strict and rough foul tactics are indispensable.

The Belgian used all kinds of insidious tricks, fierce tackles, and rough body collisions throughout the game, making Maradona unable to show his superb skills at all.

But whatever the reason, Maradona's World Cup debut went awry.

Especially after Wu Jie led the Chinese team, which is far worse than Argentina, to a big victory over England, which is far more famous than Belgium, the two of them are not like the same level of genius, even compared with Chen Haonan. few.

Although Chen Haonan's style of play is low-key, his excellent performance on both ends of the offense and defense against England can still be seen by fake fans.

However, Maradona is in the defending champion team. As the first talented rookie in South America, what can he do now?

Although Maradona suffered a savage defense in this battle, everyone can clearly see too much sticking to the ball, a lot of mindless dribbling, and untimely personal heroism.

Wu Jie felt that this was normal. Old Ma didn't have such tricks as dream training. How could he and Chen Haonan show the big picture at his age?

Maradona in the original plane was because of his poor performance in this World Cup, which made Barcelona fans feel that he was not worth that much money at all.

Lao Ma's private life was in a mess, which naturally attracted Barcelona fans to be even more disgusted with him. In addition, after the serious injury of the broken leg, he abused certain things to relieve pain. Dona spent a period of trough in his career in La Liga.

Two days later, the Chinese team came to the province of Valladolid in Spain. The venue for the game was changed to the "Sorilla Stadium", which is the home stadium of the Valladolid Football Club. It can accommodate up to [-] people. Fans come to watch the game.

However, the attendance rate of the "Sorilla Stadium" was not full today. In the end, only 24000 fans came in to watch, and many of them were local neutral fans. It can be seen that the economic conditions and consumption levels of the two countries are indeed not good. , Many Western media began to take the opportunity to slander it again.

The starting lineup of the Chinese team today has naturally been adjusted. Zhao Dayu was replaced, and Zuo Shusheng was moved to the starting lineup. Such a midfield combination of two midfielders + one midfielder can allow Wu Jie and Chen Haonan to send one player to support the wing at any time.

Except for European stars such as Anthony Panenka, Zednek Nehoda, Marjan Masny and other European stars in Czechoslovakia's starting lineup, most of them are not well-known.

But their strength is not bad, especially on the offensive end, they obviously absorbed the experience of England in the previous game, and today they stormed the Chinese team's wing from the very beginning.

Although these Czechoslovakian players are not as famous as English players, their standard is not bad, their basic skills are even higher, their movements are more practical, and their teamwork is at least one notch higher.

This put the Chinese team at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Even the five-man midfield composed of Wu Jie + Chen Haonan can only stick to it today, and it is difficult to attack the frontcourt to create a threat in a positional battle. Wu Jie's personal ability.

Of course, this is also related to the Chinese team's voluntary abandonment of positional warfare. Wu Jie knows very well that the current Chinese team has absolutely no chance of winning against this kind of Central and Eastern European teams that are good at "technical tactics".

Today, Czechoslovakia not only absorbed the experience of England in offense, but also absorbed the experience of Belgium in defense. Their defensive tactics against the Chinese team is-"Defend Wu Jie, and defend China".

This is exactly the same as Belgium's defense against Maradona and Argentina's tactics.

In fact, from here, we can see the horror of European teams' adaptability and learning ability. This kind of adjustment ability completely confuses the coaching staff of the Chinese team.

They simply didn't learn much from other teams, including their own.

But Czechoslovakia put a lot of effort into Wu Jie's defense, mainly to prevent him from easily communicating with his teammates and cutting off the cooperation between him and his teammates.

Of course, this task is not easy to complete, so they tried their best, including various small moves and rough defensive moves, and even tactical fouls to achieve their goals.

This style of play makes the Chinese team very uncomfortable, but it also shows that Czechoslovakia's tactical choice is correct.

In addition, the Polish lineman in the last game had a car accident yesterday, but today's Norwegian referee is not much better.

Today, Wu Jie suffered small moves, violations, and fouls from Czechoslovakian players again and again, but he always turned a blind eye to them.

But on the contrary, as long as the Chinese team's defense moves a lot, they will always be called for fouls, and the referee will become more discerning again.

But even with such a double standard, the Chinese team still relied on the wide-range mobility of Chen Haonan and Wu Jie, as well as Lin Yaodong's excellent performance in front of goal, and forced Czechoslovakia to draw a goalless draw with them in the first half.

In the second half, the Chinese team still focused on defense and resolutely refrained from playing positional battles with the opponent. They sent at most 3 to 4 players to participate in each attack.

The Chinese players also saw through the first half that Czechoslovakia’s tactical execution ability is stronger, their cooperation is more tacit, and they have more experience. They are older but their overall athletic ability is not inferior to them. They also take advantage of the whistle. How can this be played? Well.

It is also impossible for Wu Jie to break through such a defensive line alone. In such a level of competition, the opponent makes a mistake first, otherwise he will not give you such a continuous pass. Opportunity.

Now he can only cooperate with his teammates to hide and defend together, and then wait for the opponent to make a mistake, and seize the opportunity to kill him with one blow.

He watched the match between Argentina and Belgium the day before yesterday, and yesterday also watched a match between Italy and Peru in Group A.

As the first-tier team, these guys actually used this shameless defense to draw Poland and Peru.

Of course it would be embarrassing to say this, but Italy, which was originally a plane, advanced by relying on three consecutive draws in the group stage.

Although this style of play is embarrassing, it is really very effective.

So even Italy doesn't feel ashamed of such a beating, what qualifications does the current Chinese team have to be reluctant?

At this time, shrinking and defending is the best choice for the Chinese team, because they have already won a game!

In the 70th minute of the second half, Czechoslovakia finally couldn't help but press up against the iron barrel formation put up by the Chinese team in the backcourt.

As a result, he couldn't hold back once, and was almost seized by Wu Jie's long-distance attack. Finally, relying on the goalkeeper's heroic save, Wu Jie's counterattack of more than 70 meters in this attack was blocked.

This long-distance raid made the Czechoslovakia team no longer dare to press aggressively. If Wu Jie counterattacks successfully during this time period, they will also follow in the footsteps of England.

However, the number of attackers is not enough, and in the end they can only gain power without scoring.

The Chinese team relied on Wu Jie and Chen Haonan to break through the running distance of [-] meters, and Lin Yaodong continued his wonderful performance in the first game, and finally forced a draw with Czechoslovakia.

"It's hard, I ran 1 meters in this race!"

Wu Jie also felt some fatigue after the game. His running distance today was in the 80s, which is definitely a monster performance.

But he is quite satisfied with the result. Czechoslovakia played a bit dirty today, but the level of competition shown by this team is really not low, and he can completely accept a draw.

Now the Chinese team has one win and one draw in Group D, and Czechoslovakia has two consecutive draws. They are temporarily ranked first in the group.

This is the group of death!

Even Wu Jie didn't expect to achieve such a result!

Tomorrow is the battle between England and France. One of the two teams lost and the other drew.

If they draw, then the Chinese team's qualifying situation will be very good, and it can even be said that they are close to each other.

But even if the French team wins, they will have the same points as the Chinese team at that time; and if England wins, the Chinese team will still be first in the group.

So now the Chinese team's qualifying situation is the best in Group D. After the game between England and France tomorrow, the qualifying situation of this group will become clear.

Chapter 179 - The Hero

The next day, the Chinese team watched the match between France and England together.

The two teams are very close in strength. The French advertised that they have the world's number one midfielder before the game, while England claimed that their paper strength is invincible.

And then, now one group is third and the other is fourth. If there is a slight mistake, they will be out hand in hand. This is a bit like World War II.

Wu Jie knows that these two teams are not just bragging. The hard power of France and Great Britain is indeed outstanding in this World Cup, which can be seen from the data given by the system.

But the problem is that strength on paper is not equal to the real level on the field.

The problem with this year's England team is that the team is not well coordinated, the tactics are lack of on-the-spot response, and the technology is not delicate enough, but they are definitely the best in terms of arrogance.

Although the French have prepared for this World Cup for two years, their problem is simpler-infighting!

This is an old tradition of the French team. Before and after the formation of the team, the relationship between everyone was very harmonious, and it was a happy scene.

But it won't be long before there will definitely be conflicts in the team, and then there will be internal strife.

France do look strong in midfield, and the defense is solid.

However, there are contradictions in the frontcourt, there are conflicts in the midfield, and there are disharmony in the defense.

The most annoying thing is that their frontcourt and midfielder are not very friendly, the backcourt and midfielder are always blamed, the goalkeeper also has opinions on the back line, and the back line feels that the forwards have lost the chain.

If you do it like this, you really can't do it.

Wu Jie didn't know how the French team played better and better in this World Cup. Maybe it was because they almost failed to qualify for the group stage that they let go of their grievances for the time being.

But France in this plane may not have time to adjust, because England scored a goal in less than 10 minutes, and then kept pressing the French team, leading 2:0 at the end of the first half.

In the second half, the French team changed somewhat under adversity. The invincible midfielder that had been boasting before the game finally began to look like that.

But this time, England chose to shrink their formation after leading by two goals. The French began to take advantage, but it was still the England team who scored again. They turned the score into 3:0 through a defensive counterattack.

This time the French rarely surrendered, but they could only chase the score to 1:3 before the end of the game.

The Chinese team feels that this result is still beneficial to them, and now the situation in Group D is much clearer.

他们此刻1胜1平，积3分排在小组第一；英格兰击败法国后积2分排第二；捷克斯洛伐克两连平，同积2分排在第三；法国一平一负，只积1分排倒数第一。

Here is something that needs to be popularized. The rules of this World Cup group stage are very strange. Once there is a tie in the ranking of the group stage, it is not based on the relationship between victory and defeat and goal difference, but on whose international ranking is higher.

England and Czechoslovakia are both on two points, but they finish second in the group thanks to England's higher international ranking.

Then analyze the group situation at this time, the Chinese team's qualifying situation is still the best, as long as they can get a draw in the next game, they can lock in a qualifying spot.

But if they lose to the French team, the other three teams may squeeze them out, and the Chinese team may drop to the fourth place in the group in an instant.

This is easy to sort out. If they lose to France and Czechoslovakia draws with England, then there will be a rare situation where all four teams have three points.

At that time, if the rankings are divided according to the international rankings, the England group will be first, the French group will be second, and the Chinese team will suddenly fall to the bottom one.

So obviously, they must not lose.

As for the French team, they will definitely fight for victory.

At this moment, the French team has the worst qualifying situation. They can only qualify if they beat the Chinese team and England and Czechoslovakia draw.

Wu Jie knew that the French would never give up on this possibility, because England and Czechoslovakia could indeed draw. At that time, as long as the French team can beat the Chinese team, they will be able to qualify as second in the group.

In this way, in the last game of the countries in Group D, except for the Chinese team, each team needs a victory to ensure their qualification, and there is no soil for the existence of tacit ball.

Wu Jie also reminded his teammates not to think about a draw, because the French team will definitely fight with them.

If they want to draw and France wants to win, it will be easier for the French to achieve their wishes in the end.

The match between the Chinese team and the French team was arranged on the 7th. During Wu Jie's preparations with the team, he naturally took the time to watch a few games of other groups and pay attention to the situation of several teams.

West Germany in Group B is a team that Wu Jie is very concerned about, but the Germans are not in a good situation now. They lost their first game to Algeria, the African team that entered the World Cup for the first time, and they beat Chile in the second game. , but the qualifying situation of this group is more complicated than that of the Chinese team in Group D.

Wu Jie is also very distressed about this, he knows that this group has three teams with 2 wins and 1 loss in the original plane, which is truly rare in the world.

The match in Group C was also very interesting. El Salvador was beaten by Hungary 10:0, creating the record for the largest difference in this World Cup.

In this group, Argentina finally defeated El Salvador after losing to Belgium, but Maradora still failed to score.

Wu Jie is very gloating about this, and he certainly hopes that Maradona, who has the ability to threaten his position as the world champion, will be unlucky all the way.

The last team he paid attention to was Kuwait in Group F. After all, this is a local tyrant who has trained with his own team for half a year. If the performance in the World Cup is too poor, then the Chinese will not look good!
