Chapter 8 Who is a genius?
Before the first game, the event organizer needs to provide each team with a pre-match training location. This is also an international practice.
The Chinese team can also conduct a pre-match training before the first game.
The atmosphere of this light training is very relaxed, with everyone chatting on the court and playing warm-up games at the same time.
Wu Jie was writing a letter to his cheap parents on the sidelines at this time. Someone would definitely say: "Isn't it too old to write letters? Why not just call?"
He would like to make a phone call. The hotel also has international long-distance phone services, which are reimbursable services.
However, in this era, domestic communications are inconvenient. Not to mention international long-distance calls, even domestic long-distance calls are troublesome, so players cannot call their families once they go abroad.
Everyone can only use the ancient method of writing letters to report to their families that they are safe, and by the way, introduce what they have seen and heard in a foreign country.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I can definitely fight."
"I'm used to the food here, the accommodation is good, and I get along well with my teammates. My teammates in Beijing take good care of me, and other teammates are also very friendly."
"..."
Wu Jie also had to write a letter to his cheap parents to report that he was safe, which basically contained this kind of content.
"Xiaojie, the warm-up method and the lap grabbing method you invented are really useful!"
Su Yongshun was standing on the sidelines at this time. When he saw Wu Jie running over to join the training after writing the letter, he couldn't help but praise this handsome little guy, who became more and more pleasing to his eyes the more he looked at him.
"I just had a sudden idea, it was just a coincidence!"
Wu Jie smiled modestly. He had been training in Kunming for such a long time, so he naturally passed on some advanced training methods.
But in order not to make people suspicious, he did not come up with too many tricks at once. Basically, it was some circle grabbing and shooting training that had been used for more than ten years in the 21st century, plus some interesting and creative warm-up and technical training methods.
But for the 1980s, these things were the most advanced training methods in Europe.
Wu Jie didn't just bring out everything he learned at La Masia at once. Every time he brought out something, he pretended to be inspired by something during the communication with his teammates, or pretended to come up with it suddenly.
Methods.
These people all want to please him, so naturally they are willing to do whatever they want with him.
So after some hard work, the Chinese team developed an advanced training method that was almost systematic in four months.
In the end, even the coaching staff had to admit that the several hoop training methods that Wu Jie came up with on a whim, as well as several dribbling and shooting training methods, and even various mini-games during warm-up and training, were all very efficient to use.
, including almost everything about football technology.
To give a simple example, Wu Jie came up with an amazing method of training headers. He actually stole a basketball stand from the men's basketball team next door, and then used his heads to pass the ball with his teammates, and finally used headers.
Way to push the football into the basket.
This training method seems ridiculous, but when you actually play it, you realize that it is ridiculously difficult.
No one on the team can hit 50% of header shots like Wu Jie, and even the head pass before shooting is easy to make mistakes.
In addition, there are some physical training methods he learned from the 21st century teams, which are his own training methods.
He has been training with his own methods from the beginning, which has made the physical fitness coach very dissatisfied.
When everyone sees that his training methods are so novel and weird, they will naturally imitate them.
But they were surprised to find that these methods of exercising physical fitness and core strength throughout the body were very difficult for them to do.
It is very difficult for many players to complete any set of actions. Those who can complete one or two sets of training are basically considered to be the most physically talented players in the team.
As a result, many people naturally asked for advice and imitated Wu Jie's training methods.
He also did not hesitate to teach his unique skills. In the end, even the physical fitness coach carefully studied these training methods of his, and finally concluded that they are very efficient!
After four months of this, although Wu Jie still has a lot to show, the Chinese team's training level has been quietly improved to a higher level, and the players' training efficiency has also been greatly improved. Most of the players have improved to a certain extent.
improvement.
But the one who has improved the most is Wu Jie. After four months of training with the national team, part of his four-star athletic talent has been realized.
Now his detailed attributes are
Height: 186m↑, weight 74kg↑, physical talent ()
"Comprehensive ability":85↑
"Attack":88↑
"Defense":61↑
"Tips":87↑
"Mobile":82↑
"Strength":75↑
"Gatekeeper":20↑
"Psychology":89↑
At this moment, his physical attributes have improved significantly compared to four months ago, but his four-star athletic talent is still not fully realized, and there will be considerable improvement in the next six months.
On September 15, the Chinese team faced the Philippines, its first opponent in the group stage. The game was held in the evening local time in Kuwait.
This was a contest with little suspense. South Korea did not even send anyone over to inquire about military information. Apparently, they felt that nothing could be learned from the match against the Philippines.
But Bangzi soon regretted it. Just when they beat Macau 5-0 and easily won their first victory in the group stage, news came from another stadium that the Chinese team led the Philippines 6-0 in the first half.
This made South Korea's head coach Kim Jong-nam think he had heard the wrong news. This should be the full-time score, right?
The Philippines is very weak, but the Chinese team scored 6 goals in the first half. Isn't that too outrageous?
When other teams received this news, they also felt that the message was wrong.
Many teams in Asia have the ability to score 6 goals for the Philippines in the whole game, but it is impossible to score like this at halftime.
The Philippines said they were the ones who didn't believe it the most, but the scoreboard and clear memories on the field told them that all this was not a nightmare.
Wu Jie was already sitting off the court at this time. He scored four of the six goals scored by the Chinese team in the first half. He could only say: The Philippines is so bad!
He has never simulated such a good opponent in his dream training. The worst ones were teams like Kuwait, New Zealand, Australia, North Korea, Japan, Iran, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong.
In his eyes, the Philippines is a completely amateur country, and any team brought in from the domestic A-League can win.
This kind of game made him feel very boring, so he took the initiative to ask to take a rest at halftime.
In the second half, the Filipino players were relieved when they saw that the demonic guy was no longer there, and then they were once again in the situation of being beaten unilaterally.
In such a hugely disparate match, whether Wu Jie is present or not will not have much impact.
Xu Yonglai and Zuo Shusheng, who came on as substitutes in the second half, both scored. Cai Jinbiao and Chi Shangbin also scored two headers. Coupled with the Philippine team's own goal, the Chinese team finally scored a huge score of 11:0.
This was also the game with the largest score on the first day of the preliminaries, tying the record for the highest score in the Asian Cup.
Wu Jie also temporarily ranked first in the preliminaries scorer list with 4 goals, one goal ahead of Choi Chun-ho who scored a hat trick against Macau.
However, this result did not attract much attention from the outside world. In the eyes of Asian countries, the Chinese team is ranked at the top of the second tier, or at the bottom of the first tier. It is normal to defeat the inferior Philippines.
As for Wu Jie, who scored four goals, since the scorer list in the preliminaries will be cleared after entering the main game, media from various countries believe that he is just scoring goals against weak teams, and at most he has a little luck.
Of course, the Chinese media will not see it this way. No matter how weak the Philippines is, it is not easy to score 4 goals in half time.
What's more, Wu Jie is only 17 years old and can play among many veterans. The post-match interview was unanimously recognized by the veteran players and the head coach.
All these can show that he is a genius, not inferior to Choi Soon-ho of South Korea.
Three days later, the Chinese team faced its second opponent in the group stage: Macau!
The strength of Macau football is stronger than that of the Philippines, but there is not much difference to Wu Jie.
In this game, the Macau team sent a lot of troops to strengthen its defense. Unfortunately, the overall gap between the two sides was there. Basically, the Chinese team dominated the Macau team throughout the game.
Wu Jie scored two goals again in the first half and also created a penalty kick for Rong Zhixing to take. The Chinese team led 4:0 at halftime.
In the second half, Wu Jie continued to look for scoring opportunities.
At this time, the Macau team had already used two defenders to mark him, but he still found a corner kick opportunity to score, completing another hat trick.
Su Yongshun replaced him in the 76th minute of the second half. Strictly speaking, the first two games can only be regarded as warm-ups. The next game against South Korea is a tough battle!
South Korea has the same idea. Their current record against China is 2:0.
If they can improve their record to 3:0, they will have enough psychological advantage if they meet the Chinese team again in the world preliminaries.
"The Chinese team has a genius who doesn't look like a 17-year-old, but we have a 17-year-old Choi Soon-ho."
After South Korea's head coach Kim Jong-nam slaughtered the Philippines 8-0, he did not forget to mock Wu Jie's age after the game.
During this period, Chinese football and basketball did begin to falsely report their age, but it was far from as common as it was more than ten years later. At least in this batch of national teams, almost no one falsely reported their age, and in the next four or five years, there will only be a few people who falsely reported their age.
, Kim Jong-nam is spreading rumors.
Later, when asked who was better, Wu Jie or Choi Chun-ho, Kim Jong-nam said unceremoniously: "They are very close in height, but Choi Chun-ho's body is stronger and more powerful, he runs faster, has good footwork, and is technically proficient in all aspects."
His goal is to catch up with his predecessors, not to compare with his peers in Asia."
The senior person Kim Jong-nam was talking about was, of course, Asia’s number one Cha Bum-geun. He was a national idol in South Korea, and his status in their country was no less than that of Yao Ming and Liu Xiang in the first decade of the 21st century.
When finally asked if he was confident of winning the Asian Cup, Kim Jong-nam still did not forget to diss the Chinese team: "Our intention for this Asian Cup is to train young players, so some veterans in the team did not participate. Cha Bum-geun
I won’t come back from Germany, but I think it’s enough to deal with the Chinese team.”
Of course, this ridicule reached the ears of the Chinese team. Especially at the pre-match press conference before the two teams played against each other, Wu Jie heard a provocation relayed by a Japanese reporter. It is unclear whether it was the original words.
In the first two games, Su Yongshun did not allow him to attend the pre-game and post-game press conferences.
But he scored a hat trick in both games, and both the AFC and the tournament organizers required Wu Jie to appear at the pre-match and post-match press conferences.
This makes Su Yongshun and Team Leader Gou a little worried. Wu Jie can perform well on the court, but he may not be able to deal with reporters.
Chapter completed!
