Midfielders: Shen Xiangfu, Rong Zhixing, Wu Jie, Gu Guangming.

Backcourt: Zang Cailing, Chi Shangbin, Cai Jinbiao, Lin Lefeng.

Goalkeeper: Li Fusheng.

Wu Jie was actually moved to the midfield, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the Hong Kong team.

In the official game, he ran around even more, sometimes organized in the middle, sometimes went to the right to respond, and then ran to the left again in a blink of an eye.

The Hong Kong team's targeting of Wu Jie before the game was of no use at all, and instead made a mess of their own defense.

But today Wu Jie's position was not arranged by Su Yongshun, but he took the initiative to ask to play the free man in the frontcourt.

In addition to relying on personal ability, the Chinese team at this stage can only play simple two-for-one cooperation, or two bottom crosses from the wing, and cannot form a triangle pass attack on the offensive end, let alone continuous wall-hitting cooperation. .

But it is not impossible to solve this problem. Wu Jie is not running around blindly today. He can form a triangle with Rong Zhixing and Zhao Dayu in the middle; if he goes to the right, he can also form a triangle with Zhao Dayu and Gu Guangming. ; It is also the same reason to go to the left.

Another advantage of doing this is that it can form a local numerical advantage. Once an opportunity is created, Wu Jie can easily break through the defense line with his personal ability, or pass the ball to penetrate the defense line.

This is the method he came up with at this stage to increase the regional coordination ability of the Chinese team. The only flaw is that he has worked hard on himself, because the running distance of this style of play may exceed [-] meters in each game.

Fortunately, his physical fitness is excellent, and he also has a card to speed up his physical recovery. It is not a big deal to run an average of [-] meters per game.

This kind of change made the Chinese team play a performance that caused the Hong Kong team to collapse in the first half. Even if the referee is very biased towards the home team, as long as it is not as shameless as Kuwait, it is still not enough to close the gap between the two teams.

Wu Jie helped the team firmly control the midfield. Even though the Hong Kong team often retreated to the backcourt to defend, he used erratic running positions to pass a lot of penetrating through balls to his teammates.

It's a pity that the two strikers were not as good at grasping opportunities as he was. In the first half, they only seized two opportunities against the Hong Kong team. Zhao Tat Yu and Rong Zhixing scored goals in the 32nd and 43rd minutes respectively.

In the second half, in the 59th minute, Wu Jie blasted the gate of the Hong Kong team with a super world wave from 38 meters away, and then used "machine gun fire" towards a stand on the court that kept shouting "Chinese go back to the mainland". celebrate!

During this period, certain groups have begun to be deliberately supported by the British Hong Kong government, and the Hong Kong media has increasingly deliberately portrayed the conflicts between the two places.

He lost his composure in such a response, but in the face of these bastards, he really didn't want to turn a blind eye, and being impulsive was also in line with his current age.

Young people, are you still called young people if you are not young and energetic?

However, the defense of the Hong Kong team is not bad, and it can be seen that they have done a lot of homework.

This game has been until the end of the game, and the score has not been changed.

"Xiaojie, I'm sorry for your pass."

Zhao Dayu was a little ashamed of Wu Jie after the game, he wasted a lot of chances today, otherwise the score would not be more than 3:0.

"I didn't play well either!"

Chen Jingang is not very old, he also missed several good chances today, and one of them missed a header from close range.

Wu Jie scolded in his heart: "You still have the face to say that you are so stupid that you don't even know how to eat cakes", but on the surface, he still had a refined and easy-going look, and comforted him: "I don't blame you, the Hong Kong team is here today. With the bus ahead, they were originally going for a draw, and 3-0 is already acceptable."

There is some truth to these remarks, and it also exposes a problem that has to be taken seriously, that is, the Chinese team lacks the ability to set the ball and score goals.

The Hong Kong team really didn't think about winning this game. They just planned to use a shameless way to defend a draw, which made the Hong Kong team want to put on a 10-0-0 formation.

He estimated that many Asian teams also planned this way. If these opponents all set up such an iron barrel formation, then the Chinese team would have to rely more on set kicks, that is, corner kicks and free kicks, if they want to score goals.

Rong Zhixing is now taking free kicks and corner kicks for the Chinese team, but he is good at passing the ball rather than scoring directly.

At this time, the Chinese team did not have free kick masters, let alone any magical skills such as fallen leaf balls, banana balls, and elevator balls.

Wu Jie's free kick level is not very good either. He didn't specifically practice this technique in the two virtual training sessions, but only practiced a few sets of free kicks every day in reality.

But the effect can only be said to be average. It is of course unrealistic to want to become a free kick master in less than a year.

He is now only the team's second free kick shooter, mainly because no one is ashamed to grab him.

"It seems that I have to buy a training card again!"

Wu Jie knows that free kick is a skill he must master, and it is one of the most beneficial weapons to break the stalemate and defend intensively.

This time he didn't buy a diamond-level card, but a gold-level dream training card.

The gold-level dream training card is priced at 1500 points, which can make the dream time 25 times slower than the real time. To be honest, the price/performance ratio is very average.

But things like free kicks don’t require much practice. He has already learned how to play in the first two virtual training sessions. The next step is a process of practice makes perfect and a lot of actual combat opportunities.

This card allows him to practice free kicks for 250 hours every night. Wu Jie believes that after spending two or three cards, his free kick skills will be greatly improved.

Chapter 38 Unique in Asia

Before Wu Jie entered the dream training, he bought himself a [Elevator Ball Master] skill and upgraded it to a four-star level, which cost him 23190 Olympic coins.

This skill can turn his long-distance free kick into an "elevator ball" and increase the success rate of shots after the elevator ball is triggered.

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

The characteristic of "banana ball" is to use the arc in the left and right directions to bypass the human wall. Because the running track is similar to the shape of banana, it is commonly called "banana ball".

The "falling leaf ball" rotates vertically. The simple understanding is to draw an arc from above to bypass the human wall. Because the running track is like a dead leaf falling from a tree, it is called "falling leaf ball".

The "elevator ball" is a variant of the fallen leaf ball. It also bypasses the human wall from above, but there is almost no rotation during the flight, and the trajectory is different from the fallen leaf ball. It will suddenly fall with a great steepness, accompanied by obvious line changes, just like an elevator rushing up and down, so it is called "elevator ball".

These three are all unique skills in the field of free kicks. Wu Jie chose the "elevator ball" 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 ball, even if the quality is not particularly high, Goalkeepers in this era will definitely be caught off guard when encountering such a weird arc.

During these 250 hours, Wu Jie kept using the teams in the Asian fish ponds as a human wall in the dream training, and then let the goalkeepers of the Asian teams take turns to guard the goal.

This just allows him to understand the positions and habits of each Asian team when defending free kicks, including how heavy the goalkeepers of these teams are.

……

On December 12, the Chinese team played against the Macau team, the second opponent of the group.

Before the game, Wu Jie communicated with Rong Zhixing privately about taking the free kick.

Rong Zhixing's expression was a little unnatural after listening, but he still nodded and agreed to let him be the first free kicker.

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

Rong Zhixing was really uncomfortable. He had voluntarily handed over the right to take the penalty kick to Wu Jie. He originally planned to hand over the right to take the free kick after a year or two.

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

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

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

He failed to grasp these three free kick opportunities in fairly good positions.

But not many people are particularly concerned, because the success rate of free kicks is not high, as long as they can reach a 10% success rate, they can compete for free throwers. 15% belongs to the level of free kick masters, and 20% is already a historical level. The free kick was leveled up.

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

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

In this battle, he still played the position of the frontcourt free agent. He had a lot of ball possession and time. There were many good goals in the game, and he got one goal and two assists.

At this time, the European scouts who have been watching him have found that his position and style of play have changed significantly compared with the Asian Cup. Now Wu Jie is not so much a free player in the frontcourt, it is better to say that he plays an attacking midfielder. Location.

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

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

With such performance and his high-efficiency shooting ability, European scouts found that they could not find a versatile talent like him. There is no such monster as Wu Jie in world football.

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

Wu Jie still did not usher in his first free kick. In this game, he took a total of four free kicks, missed the goal twice, hit the post once, and was blocked by the goalkeeper once.

But it doesn't matter, Iraq's game is played by ten people.

Less than 5 minutes after the start of the first half, Wu Jie cheated a red card from outside the penalty area with a brilliant breakthrough.

After that, the Chinese team kept bombing Iraq's goals. The total number of shots in the game was as high as 36, and 18 shots were on target.

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

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

The South Korean team is ranked second in the group. They have two wins and one tie with 5 points 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 can only compete with South Korea for second place, although there is no difference between second and third.

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

If it weren't for Macau, which lost all three games at the bottom, it is estimated that this would have been eliminated.

Now 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'm not wrong, South Korea will retain their strength in the next game. They definitely hope to use their tricks in the group finals."

After Wu Jiesai faced the reporter's question, he said something that disgusted the entire South Korean team.

Because what he said was right, Kim Jong-nam did intend to strategically abandon this match.

They have prepared for almost two months to deal with the Chinese team. Of course, they cannot use their tricks in an irrelevant contest.

But if Wu Jie made such a move, it would be difficult for them to step down. Even if they didn't use their unique skills, they would definitely have to work harder. Otherwise, they would not only be unable to explain to the country, but also damage their morale. It cannot be made up, and the tricks prepared by then may not be useful.

Su Yongshun was interested in the rotation, and he didn't want to play an irrelevant game against South Korea, so he might as well train the young players.

Of course Wu Jie raised his hands in opposition, but he still has tasks to do.

Now the Chinese team and South Korea only scored 2:2, which is just a no-win situation, but if the team accidentally loses to South Korea, he will lose another [-] Olympic points every day.

Seeing Wu Jie's strong request to play, Su Yongshun had no choice but to continue to send this energetic little guy, but he still carried out some rotations on the main lineup.

On December 12, the Chinese team played the last match of the group match with South Korea.

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

But this time, the South Korean media and fans dare not be as high-profile as last time. After the Asian Cup, some European media have begun to report on Wu Jie. It is enough to show how much they value Wu Jie.

A team like Frankfurt has no chance of participating in the competition. If Wu Jie is willing to go to such a team, he can definitely get a starting commitment.

At this time, the Asian media was polarized in front of Wu Jie. Some praised Wu Jie crazily, wishing to blow him up to the sky. The most typical example is Japan.

In some regions, the media kept silent, pretending not to see that such a genius was born in Asia. South Korea and Taiwan are typical examples of this kind of pretending to be dead.

Of course, there are also some yin and yang media, these are basically from Hong Kong and India, who knows why?

There are some changes in the starting lineup sent by the Chinese team tonight——

Frontcourt: Yang Yumin, Chen Jingang, Wu Yuhua.

Midfield: Zuo Shusheng, Wu Jie, Liu Lifu.

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

Goalkeeper: Lu Jianren.

After seeing the starting lineup of the Chinese team, South Korea was overjoyed at first, but then felt humiliated.

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

At this time, the joy is that the probability of winning has greatly increased, and the anger is that the Chinese team is too contemptuous of others. This lineup clearly does not take them seriously.

But less than 5 minutes into the game, the Chinese team used a free kick and Chen Jingang took the lead with a header. This time it was Wu Jie who passed the ball for him.

The position of the free kick was not good, Wu Jie didn't hit the goal directly, but he didn't expect the first achievement of this technique to be an assist.

Chen Jingang ran all over the field, slapping himself on the head vigorously.

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

The main credit for this is the "header shooting" game of the Chinese team. Chen Jingang and several defenders have practiced for almost half a year, and now the header prediction and accuracy have improved a lot.

Su Yongshun has long regarded the bottom pass from the two wings, as well as the header after the corner kick and free kick, as one of the main weapons for the team to score.

This trick is very useful when facing Asian teams, because including the West Asian teams, the height of the Asian teams is the best in the current Chinese team. There are as many as seven or eight players above 1.8 meters. It's almost 1.9 meters.

Che Fangen watched helplessly as the Chinese team easily scored their own goal. He couldn't figure out how it had only been a year since the Chinese team had become so much stronger.

Is this just because of a Wu Jie?

But does one person really have that much effect on football, an 11-man team sport?

He didn't know that the Chinese team's current mental outlook has taken on a new look, and the training is more scientific and active, which makes the physical fitness that has always been weak continue to improve, and the self-confidence is almost bursting.

At this time, the Chinese team faced any Asian team, basically in a green state, and everyone was at their best.

But their opponents are almost all in the red, just like today's South Korean players are mostly in a sluggish competitive state.

This is of course a manifestation of fear, and now all Asian teams have a fear of the Chinese team.

Therefore, even if the Chinese team has carried out a large-scale rotation, they can still beat South Korea at the beginning of the game under the leadership of Wu Jie.
