"This is really unexpected!"

"I said, haven't you seen that he often plays with the guitar?"

"That's right, last time he bought a piano!"

"You don't even think about it. Outside of our training, we play cards and mahjong, and Wu Jie is reading, writing and singing!"

"..."

Wu Jie's previous pretentiousness really worked. He didn't have to pretend to be himself, and these teammates could explain to the public for him afterwards: why he played football well and had such a high level of musical attainment.

At this time, the Hong Kong audience in front of the TV didn't care so much. They had long been attracted by Wu Jie's beautiful voice, especially this popular Mandarin song.

When Wu Jie sang all the songs for 5 minutes, the scene immediately rang out "sing it again" and "do it again"!

"That's really beautiful!"

Of course Wu Jie won't sing it again, anyone who wants to listen can just spend money to buy a record.

Seeing that he didn't intend to sing again, there was another prolonged applause, and all the stars in the front row stood up and cheered for him!

Wu Jie could see the young Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung applauding loudly, and Luo Wen and Lin Zixiang beside them also stood up and applauded vigorously.

Alan Tam, a real fan, even wore his jersey, and rushed to the audience excitedly to shake hands with him.

Of course, Wu Jie didn't satisfy Tan's simple wish, he just waved his hand towards the audience, very aloof and famous!

At this time, the lights on the stage were turned on again, and the hosts He Shouxin and Wang Mingquan walked to Wu Jie's side while admiring, and started the flattering session.

This song "Glorious Years" naturally became the focus of their conversation. At this time, the pretty Wang Mingquan said: "Wu Jie, we all know that you are a genius on the football field, but we didn't expect you to be a talented singer. This song The song really makes people feel that the heart has been hit hard. Even a girl like me who doesn't watch football can feel a kind of persistence and struggle for dreams. But I still want to ask, is this song really about you? Do you write lyrics and music?"

Wu Jie didn't even blink his eyelids, and said firmly: "This is a song I composed after feeling after the Asian Cup."

"Oh, I don't know where your inspiration comes from, can you tell us about it?" He Shouxin asked immediately.

"After the Asian Cup ended, I could say that I became famous in the first battle. Everyone knew me when I walked on the street. But I found that everyone only cared about my success, and they only asked me what I wanted to do after I succeeded. No People want to know how I achieved success? No one cares about my efforts before I succeed!"

Wu Jie sighed at this point, perfectly adjusted his posture to align with the camera so that he could be more included in the camera, and then continued his performance.

"But I know very well that before I succeed, I have paid countless blood and sweat. Behind every glorious achievement, there will be a period of loneliness and pain. It is a silent time. But I think this time is the real one. Glorious years, this is also the source of the song's title. What I want to convey is not the glory after a person succeeds, but your persistence and struggle for your dreams when no one cares about you."

After Wu Jie said these words that he had prepared for a long time, there was naturally another long-lasting "crack clap clap clap" applause at the scene!

Chapter 41 Give it all

Wu Jie is completely popular now, after tonight there should be few people in Hong Kong who don't know his name.

But being too popular has its disadvantages. When the Chinese team was training at the South China Football Club the next day, every once in a while someone would break into the training site and rush to ask Wu Jie for his autograph, or shout like a crazy person. yell.

Under such circumstances, the Chinese team could not train with peace of mind, and even the safety issue could not be guaranteed. In the end, they had to temporarily change the training venue to the University of Hong Kong through the event organizer.

The stadium in the university is a closed field, and these brain fans and neuropathy cannot enter, so the Chinese team can train with peace of mind.

Su Yongshun was naturally dissatisfied with Wu Jie's participation in the New Year's Eve party and singing on stage. He worried that the core of the national team put too much attention on football.

But he didn't know that Wu Jie just wanted to make some adjustments outside of football. He wouldn't participate in too many gala events like this, and the next time he would be in it would be the Spring Festival Gala.

After his performance last night, he went back to the hotel alone to rest before the party was over.

Instead, his teammates didn't come back until the party was over, so he was the most energetic today, Young Master Wu.

Two days later, it will be the semi-finals of the World Preliminary Group, and the opponent of the Chinese team is the Hong Kong team.

Su Yongshun instructed the team to practice more free kicks and corner kicks during training, preparing to use it to deal with the Hong Kong team's iron bucket formation.

Wu Jie also thinks this is a good idea, and he is also practicing free kicks today.

"Ajie, how did you kick the ball?"

When Rong Zhixing saw Wu Jie kicking a very high-quality elevator ball at a distance of 30 meters, the surprise on his face was more severe than when he sang on stage yesterday, because he had never seen an arc. Such a weird free kick.

"Yeah, I feel like I'm falling suddenly. Is this the legendary banana ball?"

Gu Guangming's eyes widened too. They had heard of a Zico nicknamed "White Pele" in Brazil. It was said that that guy's free kicks could kick out arcs like bananas.

But Rong Zhixing, the free-kick master of the Guangdong team and the national team, has studied for a long time, but still can't figure out how to kick a banana-like arc.

This time, Wu Jie scored three unimaginable elevator balls in a row at a distance of 30 meters, which immediately attracted the whole team to come to watch, including the head coach Su Yongshun couldn't help but come over to find out.

Lu Jianren helped to act as the goalkeeper just now, and he has personally experienced the horror and weirdness of this kind of free kick.

In his eyes, the football kicked by Wu Jie will fly to the top of the human wall at high speed, and then suddenly fall violently, and even have an S-shaped change of line, that is, it floats to one side at the beginning, and then suddenly turns in the process. Erratic, it is naturally difficult for the goalkeeper to judge and save.

The two balls he kicked in the first place just fell quickly, but there was no obvious change of direction, but Lu Jianren still couldn't even react, and the football got into a dead corner.

For the third ball, Lu Jianren finally reacted after being prepared, but this time the football had an obvious change of course on the way. At first it was clearly flying to the left, but after crossing the human wall, it suddenly turned to the right. This seriously affected his prediction, and he didn't know where to jump. What's even more exasperating was that the football had an obvious drop, and it almost missed his waist in the end.

Wu Jie himself was a little surprised by this kick. Such a free kick with such speed, angle, line change, and drop can be called a perfect free kick. He only took dozens of kicks to get such a free kick.

He can usually kick the angle well, and his speed is fast enough. It is not easy to have an elevator ball that is obviously falling. This is really a magic kick that is deceived.

"I don't know how to kick the banana ball. This is a technique I came up with. When I first kicked it, it flew up obliquely, and fell very fast in the middle. When I kicked it well, there was a change of line from left to right. At this time Even if the goalkeeper reacts, the prediction will probably be wrong, I call it the elevator ball!"

Of course Wu Jie couldn't tell the truth, but the name of the creator had to be snatched up. He also hoped to get some Olympic coins by inventing the "elevator ball".

"Ajie, can you..."

Rong Zhixing wanted to learn banana ball for a long time, but he never saw it with his own eyes, but saw some introductions from Hong Kong magazines.

Now Wu Jie's "elevator ball" feels even more miraculous in his heart, but he also knows that this kind of stunt is generally not publicized, so he is embarrassed to speak up.

"No problem, I can teach you. In fact, I still have a lot of details to perfect in this trick. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to score in training. I didn't succeed even once in the game. Everyone will improve faster with me. !"

Of course Wu Jie knew that many people wanted to learn, but they were too embarrassed to speak up.

But he will not hide his secrets, especially if Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu have learned it, so that it can become another capital for them to go abroad.

Su Yongshun nodded aside, the more he looked at it now, the more he felt that Wu Jie was a treasure bestowed by God to the country.

Not only is this kid's talent different from ordinary people, but the most rare thing is that he has no selfishness.

No one will teach this kind of stunt easily, and you won't even let you watch it. It's all secretly practiced at a time and place where no one else is.

This is also the norm in the 70s and [-]s. During this period, the live broadcast technology of the game was underdeveloped, and it was difficult to capture the details of the players' actions.

The Brazilian who invented the ox tail, he will not do this action in training, nor will he pass this stunt to his teammates, he must wait until he retires.

This has led to many Brazilian players not knowing this trick until now, and it also gave Wu Jie the opportunity to carry it forward. He has even taught this trick to his teammates.

It is estimated that after a while, Gu Guangming and Zhao Dayu should be able to make this move in the game.

At that time, the movements that every Brazilian can do will probably become the movements that every Chinese can do.

Wu Jie also didn't even hesitate this time, and he taught immediately when he was told, picked up a football at his feet, and carefully explained his playing style to his teammates.

At this time, no one knew that there was a reason why Wu Jie didn't hide his secrets. He was confident that there were not many people who really learned these skills, and even if they learned them, it would be difficult to use them in competitions.

This is especially true for things like free kicks. After decades, no matter which skill is a secret, why are there still only a few true free kick masters?

Because this thing requires extremely high talent, a lot of time for boring training, and finally the qualification to take the penalty in the game.

Gu Guangming learned it, Zhao Dayu learned it, Zuo Shusheng learned it too...

So what?

Do you guys have a higher success rate than me?

Do you have enough practical experience?

Can you take away my right to take the penalty?

After they have learned these skills, the only use is that after going to Europe, they can increase a lot of capital for the main competitors, and at the same time, it will save Wu Jie from always coming back to play in Asian games. These little guys are enough to cover the sky with one hand in the Asian fish pond.

……

"Damn, the kick was so accurate in training, but it was a big failure in the game!"

Two days later in the game, when Wu Jie was replaced in the 85th minute of the second half, the expression on his face was not very happy, as if he had lost the game.

Losing is of course impossible, the score at the moment is 4:1.

The Chinese team easily defeated the Hong Kong team at home in the "Government Stadium" that can accommodate 3 people. At the last moment, they gave the home team a point as a father's love.

His displeasure lies in the fact that he missed four more free kick opportunities in the game. Although he still scored two goals with his head kick, he still felt bad luck without free kicks in five consecutive games!

This time, the Hong Kong media can accept the failure of their own team. To put it bluntly, the level difference is too far, so there is nothing to be reconciled to.

Two years ago, the match between the Chinese team and the Hong Kong team was held on June [-]th. At that time, they had the strength to beat the Chinese team.

But now the Chinese team completely beats Hong Kong, even if South Korea and Iraq want to beat Hong Kong, it is not difficult.

At this time, there are seven or eight teams in Asia and Oceania combined that have the strength to beat them. Even if the Hong Kong media is not reconciled, it will not be their turn to compete with the serious Asian champions.

Hong Kong fans also know that their team cannot qualify for the group stage, so they might as well support the mainland, which is also Chinese.

"I want to play Iraq in the group final, because we have played against South Korea three times in three months, and I really have nothing new about them!"

When Wu Jie was asked after the game who he would like to win tomorrow's match between South Korea and Iraq, he directly said something that made the South Korean media very angry.

But if you are angry, no matter the South Korean media or the South Korean fans, there is no way to fight back.

Because they did lose to China three times in a row in three months, and they lost every game by a big score!

In this case, how can they still get their mouths?

After Wu Jie taunted, the Chinese team still watched the match between South Korea and Iraq on the second day.

The final process and results made China very satisfied, because the two teams played a 2:2 in regular time, and after three and 10 minutes of overtime, there was still no winner.

But after playing for 120 minutes, several players on both sides suffered cramps, and Cha Bum-geun fought too hard and even got injured.

Naturally, the Chinese team was overjoyed. Although the South Korean team finally defeated Iraq in the penalty shootout, three of them suffered cramps in the whole game, and the team leader Che Fangen was injured by a shovel. This is really miserable. .

But after gloating, everyone still took it seriously.

This is of course the credit of the self-discipline card. The team has 6 main players including Wu Jie and two young rookies. They have shown an extremely professional attitude in recent months. They are very self-disciplined and dedicated in training and in private. .

This made other players dare not relax themselves. The Chinese team was not as good as the North and South Koreas, and their physical fitness continued to improve, and their physical confrontation was also better than the original plane.

As long as this attitude lasts for another year, the Chinese team can surpass North and South Korea in terms of physical fitness, at least not worse than them, and their already good confrontation ability will go further. Big loss.

Chapter 42 The Elevator Ball is Introduced

On January 1th, the group finals of Group A qualifiers in the Asia-Pacific region officially started. The competition venue is still the "government stadium" that is officially declared to have a capacity of 8 people, but in fact, people can stand on three sides of the hillside.

On the day of the game, as soon as he saw the tired faces of the South Korean players, and Cha Bum-geun, who was helplessly sitting on the bench due to injury, Wu Jie knew that there was no suspense in this game. The Iraqi played well and assisted .

If it is a mourning soldier, it is possible to improve the combat effectiveness.

But now South Korea is a tired army full of wounded soldiers. Let alone facing China at this time, it may be enough to fight Hong Kong.

The South Korean media area is also lifeless. They know that this South Korean team has no chance of defeating the Chinese team in front of them. The 1982 World Cup is going far away...

Sure enough, just 4 minutes into the final match of the group stage, Wu Jie used his diving technique to get a free kick 27 meters away from the goal outside the restricted area.

Rong Zhixing took the initiative to stand aside, and went up to encourage Wu Jie before making a free throw.

Now that this kind of ball is taken by Wu Jie, the grievances in Rong Zhixing's heart have long since disappeared with learning "elevator ball".

The South Korean team didn't worry too much, and they didn't hesitate to take two steps forward when lining up the wall.

In their eyes, Wu Jie is of course omnipotent and terrifying, but the level of free kicks is really not that good.

They have statistics made by a dedicated video/data analyst. In this world preliminaries, Wu Jie took a total of 18 free kicks, 14 of which chose to hit the goal directly. As a result, none of them hit the goal, and the success rate was 0%!

This is also the only place where the South Korean media can laugh at Wu Jie. The number one talent in Asia is not really perfect. You see, this free kick is really ridiculous.

The scouts at the scene also laughed. Of course they didn't care about Wu Jie's small defect.

Which of the European giants does not have more than two free kick masters? They don't need Wu Jie's superb free kick skills at all, so the eligibility for set kicks, which is already fighting openly and secretly, will become more chaotic, and it might turn into a locker room. The fuse is gone.

Wu Jie was standing in front of the football at this time, posing in a handsome pose and preparing for a free throw.

At this time, the camera showed him, and Wu Jie deliberately pulled up his shorts, exposing his thighs with extremely separated muscles.

At this time, the audience in front of the TV could see that the lines of his thigh muscles were very clear, and the protruding veins were full of strength at first glance. Such terrifying lines would definitely not be able to be practiced without extraordinary perseverance.

After a few seconds, the close-up pans up to his face.

In this static situation, even with an 80s camera, the expression on Wu Jie's face can be clearly seen by the audience in front of the TV.

At this moment, he was taking a deep breath before shooting, and his expression was focused on the direction of the goal.

Many female fans in front of the TV were about to shout: "Wow, so handsome!"
