Chapter 263: Talents

Real Madrid took advantage of Barcelona's infighting again, not only completed the overtake in the standings, but Chen Haonan also rushed to the first place in the scorer list and assist list.

At this time, when I looked at the scorer list, the third-ranked player was another Chinese name.

Barcelona lost or drew back-to-back games after the winter break, but it didn't affect Lin Yaodong's goal, and the bastard's performance was even more brilliant.

Barcelona fans are also extremely satisfied with Lin Yaodong's performance, because he can not only score wonderful free kicks frequently as a goalkeeper, but also make a lot of wonderful saves in front of goal, and these two things add up to the only façade that the whole team can lift?

Lin Yaodong is now only fighting with Maradona for the right to take penalties, but the right to take free kicks has already been won, and when Barcelona fell to third place in La Liga at the end of March, his goals increased to 15 goals, only one goal behind Hugo Sanchez in second place, and Chen Haonan, who scored 19 goals, was naturally in the first place at this time.

A goalkeeper can score so many goals, which can cause a news effect, especially in Barcelona, in a high-profile city and team like Barcelona, Lin Yaodong's fame is growing rapidly in the case of the team's poor performance.

Wu Jie led Bayern to 4 wins and 1 draw in March, but in the face of the unanimous decline of the European media, he staged a good show of rebounding across the board.

Bayern have a devil's schedule in March, having played five league games, two Champions League games and one German Cup.

There are only five games in February in total, Bayern has pulled the hips one after another, and now they have to play 8 games a month, the Champions League is still against Liverpool who just eliminated Barcelona, and the opponent of the German Cup 16 into 8 is Werder Bremen, which ranks fourth in the Bundesliga.

Even the Munich media suggested that Bayern should try to protect the Champions League and the German Cup, and the league strategy should be abandoned, and this year they will not have the ability to fight on the third line.

Then before the words fell, Rummenigge, who has been performing well this year, sprained his ankle in training, and the next two strikers just returned from injury, and then injured another.

It is such a team full of wounded soldiers and a serious decline in the will to fight, Bayern actually achieved a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss under the adverse trend in March, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

Bayern fans themselves didn't expect the team to get better again, but they can have such results, first of all, relying on Wu Jie to continue to maintain his non-human goal efficiency.

In the five Bundesliga games in March, although Wu Jie did not score a hat-trick again, he scored in every game, including two braces, helping Bayern achieve an excellent record of 4 wins and 1 draw.

In the face of Liverpool, which had just eliminated Barcelona, Bayern lost 1:2 away in the first leg, but returned to the home court to rely on Wu Jie's two goals and successfully defeated the opponent 2:0, and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League 3:2 in the two legs.

The last game was the German Cup, which also relied on Wu Jie's 1 goal in the first half, and finally eliminated Werder Bremen with a not very decent bus tactic.

These eight games were played, an average of four days, which was an absolute devil's test for footballers in the 80s, and almost no one could stick to it the whole time.

Mateus' fitness is an iron man among German players, but he also had to rest for one game.

However, Wu Jie, who has scored in every game, not only did not miss any of the eight games, but played the whole game in seven of them.

Such an amazing physical fitness and on-field performance made the media and fans all over Europe dare not throw the pot of Bayern's declining performance to him, because there is really no place to hack!

After playing in March, Bayern rose to third place in the league and narrowed the gap with the top two, which actually made people see the hope of overtaking.

In the Champions League and German Cup, Bayern have achieved their goal of advancing on three fronts, especially after the most difficult March, when they regain the possibility of winning the quadruple.

Wu Jie's personal data is still jaw-dropping, his league goals have reached 47 goals, only 3 goals away from last season's 50 goals, and there are 8 rounds left in the league, it is a matter of time to break last season's record, but there is still a lot of suspense about whether he can create a 60+ record.

In the European Champions Cup, Wu Jie scored only two goals in the two legs against Liverpool, and the current total number of goals is 7, which is far ahead of the others, but it is difficult to exceed his own 15 goals.

In the German Cup, Wu Jie has only scored 4 goals so far, which only makes him tied for the top scorer.

He is no longer planning to set a new record in the German Cup, which has changed too much in its format, and the Bundesliga team can only play a maximum of five games, so there is no need to set a goal record.

The knockout stage of the Asian Qualifiers for the Olympic Games was also over at the end of March, with the Chinese team defeating North Korea 5:2 in the home and away matches in the 8-4 league, and then defeating Japan 7:1 on aggregate in the semi-finals with a mixed lineup of 1 team + 2 teams.

In the end, they met Kuwait again in the final, and as a result, the two rivals who knew each other did not have any suspense, and the Chinese team easily passed the test with a score of 5:1 over two legs.

After the Chinese team won the Asian qualifiers for the Olympic Games after playing six games, they completely locked in a qualifying place.

Ren Zhihui, Cui Yonghua, and Jiang Wei are naturally the focus of attention from the outside world, especially Ren Zhihui scored 7 goals in 6 games, Jiang Wei also scored two goals, and even Cui Yonghua scored a goal through a corner kick.

But this time there are not only three players who are surprising, and the newcomers emerging from the Chinese team are endless.

The first is Wu Qunli from Guangdong, who has performed well in the first two stages of qualifying.

Wu Qunli also started in these six games, and as a result, he contributed 3 wonderful assists and 1 goal in six games, as if another Rong Zhixing was born.

Wu Jie naturally has an impression of this Wu Qunli, because this person is not only one of the objects of his talent promotion, but Wu Qunli's own experience is also very inspirational.

This midfielder from Guangdong has excellent foot skills and breakthrough ability, but because of his "too thin body", he was eliminated by the Guangzhou second team at the age of 19 and had to go to the fire equipment factory as an ordinary worker.

But Wu Qunli did not give up this sport, he still practiced diligently in his spare time, and finally God rewarded him for his hard work, so that he was selected into the second team again at the age of 22, and was successfully promoted to the first team soon after, and represented the Guangdong team in the National Games last year.

Wu Jie wanted to create some inspirational players at that time, so he gave this player with excellent ball sense, good at dribbling and breakthrough, and good midfield organization.

In this way, Wu Qunli's shortcomings have been made up, and his original strengths have been strengthened, coupled with this person's diligence and hard work, his love for football is very comparable, and he really has a bit of Rong Zhixing's taste.

In addition to Wu Qunli, 22-year-old striker Marin has also scored four goals in six games.

The striker from Dalian runs aggressively, not only is he good at interspersing and pulling, grabbing points in front of goal, but more importantly, he is also very good at his feet, he can control the ball in the threat area, and his shooting accuracy is also quite hot, as long as he is paired with a center forward who can attract firepower, or a winger with excellent breakthrough ability, it is best to have a midfield master to deliver cannonballs, this person's threat will be very amazing.

This Marin is naturally also the reserve force that Wu Jie focuses on cultivating, and even in his eyes, the upper limit is higher than Zhao Dayu, and Marin is more suitable to partner with Liu Haiguang in the next World Cup.

Wu Jie doesn't know what's going on, Zhao Dayu has scored 11 goals in 20 games in Lyon this season, and is currently ranked fourth in the Ligue 1 scorer list, but he just feels that this person is embarrassed, it's really strange!

The last impressive is Wang Dongning from Shandong, who has played as a central defender, full-back, midfielder, and center forward in six games, and still has no clear positioning.

Wu Jie feels that Wang Dongning and Fan Zhiyi are the same type of players, he has a body that can be called a tank in Asia, and at the same time, he is strong and has extraordinary speed.

But this guy is not only physically excellent, but also has a flexible brain, and his basic skills are extremely solid, dribbling, passing, shooting, tackles, and marking are actually good, and he can basically play any position except the goalkeeper.

Wang Dongning has scored just one goal in six games, but this semi-final goal against Japan will blow for a lifetime.

In that game, Wang Dongning was put into the center forward position by the head coach for experiments, and in the second half, facing three defenders in the Japanese team's penalty area, he actually forced the ball to accelerate and turn the opponent's opponent on his back, and finally used a powerful shot to make the Japanese goalkeeper not even have time to react.

Wu Jie watched the replay of that game, and Wang Dongning's performance like this is naturally inseparable from his investment.

He didn't invest too much, he was a three-and-a-half-star "steel body", and at this time, with Wang Dongning's three-and-a-half-star physical talent, he was indeed a little invincible in Asia.

So many outstanding players who made their first appearance really give people a feeling of "Chinese talents".

But Wu Jie knows that these people are just giving full play to their potential in the general environment, and he doesn't believe that if Drogba is put in China, he can't even play two or three percent, and even if he kicks out, it will not be possible to reach the height he deserves.

Wu Qunli, Ma Lin, and Wang Dongning, these three are all famous Chinese generals in the original plane, but their level in the original plane is bound to be much worse than this plane.

Because in this plane, they have received the most scientific training, adequate nutrition, and the tactical concept of catching up with the world's mainstream, coupled with a clear direction of progress, which is enough for them to give full play to most of their talents.

Wu Jie didn't dare to come up with so many advanced training methods four years ago, let alone in terms of tactical concepts.

But with the birth of Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, especially with the passage of time, even if they only come up with a little new thing each time, such a long-term accumulation is enough to make the training level and tactical concept of the Chinese team quietly become the world's top level.

In addition, he and two tool people, plus Gu Guangming and others have stayed abroad, so that these players have a clear understanding of the development of world football, and everyone can find their own way forward through the understanding of European football.

The most important thing is to gain self-confidence, they have gained confidence from Wu Jie and others that "Chinese can play better than European players and South American players", which is not a small help to them.

After China secured a qualifying spot, Kuwait will play a play-off match against the winner of Japan and South Korea.

In the end, with the results of nearly two years of intensive training in China, Kuwait defeated Japan with an aggregate score of 3:2 over two legs.

This hurt the Japanese team very much, and the media in Japan has begun to call for the proposal to study Kuwait and pay tuition fees to participate in the Chinese team's training camp.

But the Japanese are probably going to be disappointed, even if the Haigeng training base has been expanded twice, it is very troublesome to accommodate another twenty or thirty Japanese players.

Now at least 50 domestic players are gathered for each training camp, 30 places will be given to Kuwait, and 100 Japanese players will be added.

Of course, if you really give a lot of money, it is not a scale that cannot accommodate 100 people for training.

The main thing is to see how much money the Japanese side can give, but Wu Jie is very optimistic about this matter, don't look at Japan is richer than Kuwait, but in terms of football spending, the Japanese side is far less generous than the Kuwaiti royal family.

The Kuwaiti royal family really doesn't care about money in this regard, anyway, their money comes easily, and the annual spending on private yachts and private jets alone is calculated in "100 million", and five or six million US dollars thrown in China a year is simply a sprinkling of water.

But with this money, China has built the Haigeng training base into the country's largest comprehensive training base, which is now enough to accommodate thousands of athletes and train in nearly 100 sports at the same time.

Now several wealthy West Asian countries have some intention to learn from Kuwait's approach, because the effect of training with the Chinese team is obvious, and Kuwait is now the second iron boss in Asia except China.

In recent years, Kuwaiti football has faced competitions other than China, especially against West Asian teams, and the winning rate is very high.

In the next World Cup, there will still be only two places in Asia, and the maximum number will be increased to two and a half places.

If the situation is allowed to develop, will these two places not be destined to be taken away by China and Kuwait?

Saudi Arabia has not yet established diplomatic relations with China, but the UAE hopes to deepen its friendship through "football diplomacy" after establishing diplomatic relations with China.

In April, the Chinese team, which had just won the Olympic qualifiers, followed several bigwigs to the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates for a friendly visit.

Both companies are interested in letting the UAE learn from Kuwait and send the UAE football team to China for long-term training.

The Football Association can't say no, because it's a political task.

But "money" must be treated equally, because the two richest emirates in the UAE are Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

If the UAE can also spend $5 million a year on tuition, then the plan to build four large-scale multi-sport training bases and eight large-scale individual training bases can begin.
