Chapter 371: The Worse Era
It has been a long time since Chinese players have experienced the feeling of "walking off the court", but Wu Jie experienced an inexplicable familiar feeling at this moment.
This defeat is actually nothing to him, even in the face of Rummenigge, who came over to exchange jerseys with a smug look, he did not have any anger, it was really calm and calm from the heart.
Rummenigge originally wanted to say yin and yang, the two of them were the most typical superficial cooperation at the beginning, and they were not even superficial brothers.
But seeing Wu Jie's unpretentious elegance and calm temperament, he couldn't feel much joy of victory.
When Song Shixiong exchanged jerseys after the game, he faced Wu Jie, who was neither humble nor arrogant in the camera, and gave a magnificent bearing, and gave the evaluation: victory is not rejoicing, defeat is not panicked, and those who have thunder in their chests and face like a peaceful lake are generals.
Wu Jie did reach this realm unconsciously, in fact, the victory and defeat are basically clear in his heart, this game is a bigger loss, although he has the ability to rewrite it with his own strength, but it is true that he can't beat the strong with the weak every time.
At this time, losing a game should be regarded as a flood discharge before the flood, otherwise the longer the undefeated or winning streak, the greater the pressure of accumulation, and sometimes it is better to lose early than late.
The problem now is that the situation of qualifying from the group has not been very good, and the record of one draw and one defeat is arguably the worst start expected.
But is there no chance of qualifying in this situation?
Although it is not an honour to say so, they still have a chance to fight for a place in the group for third place, which of course means that the margin for error is very small, and the Soviets will have to hope that they will not roll over.
In other words, it's a bit of a resignation to someone else, and it's really bad to think about it!
But then again, the fact that he was able to adjust his mindset so quickly had something to do with what he had felt in his previous life was truly desperate.
Now the Chinese team has performed badly in the group stage of the World Cup, not only failed to defeat the Soviet Union, but also had a bad move in the face of Germany, leaving only a Canadian soft persimmon to bully.
Such a performance falls in the eyes of Chinese fans in this plane, of course, except for Wu Jie, he must come out and criticize it.
But if he said this to the Chinese fans of his original plane, even everyone would treat him as a psychopath.
Not to mention being forced to draw by Russia and losing to Germany, it is already a fantasy that the Chinese team can enter the World Cup.
"Don't hang your head, most sports competitions, especially in football, tend to stumble at the group stage. But I think this kind of 'slow heat' is better, because if the form comes out early, the stamina will be insufficient, and then it will be further away from the championship. β
When Wu Jie boosted morale after the game, he rarely threw out a point of view with the nature of Ah Q.
But this argument is not entirely unreasonable, and there are indeed such "metaphysical" situations at the World Cup, such as the last champions, Italy, who have a tradition of slow heat, and West Germany actually often slow down in major tournaments.
This year's Italy is also slow to heat, Brazil, which came too early in the last edition, is also slow this time, including England and Spain, who did not perform well in the group stage.
So the Chinese team in the death group comforted itself so much, there is really no big problem.
Besides, they lost to West Germany, which is currently ranked third in the world, and a win is called an underdog.
'That's right, four years ago, we were able to draw against West Germany, and this defeat is a wake-up call for us to know how to deal with a team that is more powerful than ours.
Chen Haonan now feels that playing top teams such as the Soviet Union and West Germany must no longer be brainless.
They don't have the ability to go head-to-head with any team now, so they should come up with the "turtle shrinking tactics" of the last World Cup, gather troops in the backfield at any cost of physical strength and means, and pull the opponent into a meat grinder with all their might, and then rely on the iron bucket-like defense and Wu Jie's deadly raid to win.
This is the only way they can maximise the abilities of the three superstars and close the gap on the hard power of teams like West Germany.
In addition, even if you don't score a goal in this way, as long as you can drag it into the penalty shootout, Lin Yaodong's advantages can be brought into play at that time.
If they want to win the championship in this World Cup, they have to rely on this most ugly way, otherwise they will really overestimate themselves and underestimate others.
"I agree, sometimes if you want to win, you have to lose first, we don't have the means to win back, now is not the time to be discouraged, this World Cup journey has only begun now!"
Lin Yaodong is worried about losing three goals in a game, but he also knows what to say now, he must stand up and stabilize the army's heart with his eldest brother and second brother.
The words of the three of them, to be honest, are nothing special, they are normal encouragement and motivation.
But when they say it and listen to the ears of these Chinese players, the effect is immediate.
Most of the negative emotions generated by everyone's loss really dissipated in an instant.
And at the post-match press conference, the three of them naturally had to represent the whole team to welcome the malice from all over the world.
When the Chinese team had been winning before, they still had to face the yin and yang weirdness and unprovoked attacks from the world.
Now that he has finally lost, it is natural to usher in the firepower that foreign media have accumulated for several years.
At this time, the role of the ghost is very critical, the "Mirror Group" under the "World Football" magazine was the first to get the opportunity to ask questions, only to see a rather beautiful little cow, stood up in a very arrogant tone, and asked Wu Jie: "The Chinese team, which has not lost for 42 consecutive months, is led by the world's first person and two active top ten players, and has always been considered one of the championship seeds. Can the Chinese team think of such a performance before the game? β
Lin Yaodong turned his head to look at Wu Jie at this time, and his expression seemed to say: Is this TM his own person?
"I don't like the word 'lose', it's a common thing, and in the end it's the winner, and we just haven't won yet." Wu Jie said this, glanced at the other party's chest, and after confirming that this must be his own, he said with a smile: "Our current situation is indeed not very good, but this is the charm of the World Cup, a team winning at the starting point is nothing, winning at the end is winning." β
"Mr. Lin, we know that in your entire career, you have conceded more than 3 goals in a single game, including 3 goals in a single game, only 4 times before this game, and today you were scored 3 goals in a single game for the fifth time, what do you think is wrong with the team's defense?"
This is a question from a reporter from the newspaper Marca, as one of the two major media used by Real Madrid, they will certainly not let go of this opportunity to stab the core of their mortal enemy.
But after asking this question, Chen Haonan's face was difficult to look at first, this knife even stabbed him!
"Even the world's No. 1 goalkeeper concedes an average of 0.6 goals per game, which is the same as everyone's life, 'losing' is the norm, and each of us has to lose a lot in the long journey of life." Lin Yaodong learned from Wu Jie to show a more mocking smile, and after a pause, he continued: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, the goalkeeper ranked No. 1 in the world and conceded the least number of goals per game in the last four years is the goalkeeper in front of you who has just been scored three times in a single game, but I am still the best goalkeeper in the world." β
This answer made many people laugh, but this one, which was more aggressive, extremely confident, and at the same time more humorous, won the favor of many reporters.
To be honest, if Lin Yaodong were a white man, then his character would probably be more popular with Western fans and public opinion than Wu Jie.
"Chen, last season was undoubtedly your year, as Real Madrid led by you were unrivaled in Europe and won the first treble in the team's history! But when you come to the World Cup, your team is not doing as well as you want, what do you think is wrong with this team? β
This is a question from Daily Sport, one of BarΓ§a's hardcore media outlets, which seems harmless, but in fact hides a lot of traps and malice.
'I have a lot of confidence in this team, even with the recent setbacks, but knowing that we are a team that is regrouping, and that can be seen in the average age of our starters. So for a young team like this, we need to be like a sponge to gain experience through the game, not only the experience of winning, but also the experience of losing, especially the latter experience is more valuable, because before I became famous, I kept failing and failing again, but that's why I was successful. β
"Bang bang bang!"
Chen Haonan's answer made the team leader and coach can't help but slap their hands, Wu Jie couldn't help but look at these two little brothers at this time, how did he feel that his performance at today's press conference was suppressed by these two little brothers?
######
The next day, the ridicule and ridicule from all over the world still fell on the Chinese team!
They didn't care what the stars did at the post-game press conference, and even the so-called own people, the media under Isabella's "Mirror Group", also followed the trend in reporting on this day.
The argument that the Chinese team can only dominate in the Asian fishpond will have been decided, and those who don't know still think that the Chinese team has been eliminated.
Naturally, the Chinese team will not pay attention to these news, and most people can't understand it!
As for the domestic media reports, this era will not reach Mexico, which is far away, and the players will not be affected by public opinion as in the Internet era.
Now the Chinese team has sharpened their knives and is ready to kill the only lamb in the group.
But the Chinese team was not the only one who wanted to attack the horses, and the Soviets also raised their butcher knives at the sick man of North America.
The situation in Group A is still unclear, and if the Soviet team overturns on Canada, for example, if it only gets a draw, it will immediately fall into an even more embarrassing situation than the Chinese team.
So the Canadians were unlucky, although they were much more motivated and willing to fight than in the first game, but in the face of the Soviets, who made the Chinese team feel troubled, they were still pressed to the ground smoothly after the start of the game.
The Chinese team was able to end in a draw with the Soviets, and even dominated the game, relying on the charge of three superstars.
As a traditional weak country in football, Canada does not even have a star with an ability value of more than 90.
This time to enter the World Cup historically, Canada relied on a group of players who can play in the weak teams of the five major leagues, as well as the crotch pulling of the Americans, and the luck component accounted for a lot.
But this kind of strength is not enough to see in the World Cup, Canada's level is a little stronger than Saudi Arabia, at most the level of China's second team.
So another 6-0 defeat was not a surprise, but the Soviets were playing from the start with the idea of a higher goal difference than the Germans.
This was also a necessary action, and the Soviets knew very well that they had to be prepared to lose the next battle to West Germany.
Although they drew with the Chinese team in their first game, it was the Chinese team who dominated the game.
Therefore, the Soviets did not say anything, but in their hearts they knew very well that their strength should be weaker than that of Germany.
If they do lose the final game to Germany and China get more clean sheets against Canada, then they have a chance of falling to third place in the group.
The Canadian team really collapsed after the game, and was poured 6 goals in two consecutive games, and this first experience of the World Cup is really unbearable!
The current Canadians have no confidence in the previous plan to win at least one victory, and although the Chinese team is not in a good situation, it can at least have an advantage in the face of the Soviet Union, and it is really a pity to lose in the face of Germany.
On the other hand, they can only be beaten in the face of these two opponents, so does the Chinese team really have a chance to win a win?
At this time, the Chinese team has begun to pay attention to the third place in the other groups, and according to the new rules of this World Cup, the four third places with the best records in the six groups can also qualify.
They are likely to be third in Group A right now, with a current record of one draw and one defeat with one point and a goal difference of -1.
At this time, looking at the situation of other groups, the Chinese team found that their situation seemed to be really bad.
On June 19, the teams in all groups have played their first two matches, and the rankings of each group have been released.
Group A: West Germany 2 wins, Soviet Union 1 win and 1 draw, China 1 draw and 1 loss, Canada 2 losses.
Group B: Denmark 2 wins, Italy 1 win and 1 draw, Spain 1 draw and 1 loss, Northern Ireland 2 losses.
Group C: Paraguay 1-1, Mexico 1-1, Algeria 1-1, Saudi Arabia 2-2.
Group D: Uruguay 2 wins, Morocco 1 win and 1 draw, England 1 loss and 1 draw, Bulgaria 2 losses.
Group E: Brazil 1 win, 1 draw, Belgium 1 win, 1 draw, Poland 2 draws, Scotland 2 losses.
Group F: Argentina 2 wins, France 1 win and 1 draw, Portugal 1 draw and 1 loss, Hungary 2 losses.
Algeria and Poland are now better than them in third place in each group, with Spain, England and Portugal having the same record, but Spain and Portugal both have one more goal difference, and they are last with England on goal difference of -2.
"So unlucky?"
Wu Jie couldn't cry or laugh at this time, feeling that they are now brothers and sisters with England!
England fans also want to vomit blood, but the British are uncomfortable not because they have become brothers and sisters with the Chinese team, but because of goal difference, they are actually the bottom of the six group thirds.
However, England and Spain did not feel ashamed to have points tied with the Chinese team, but instead felt some solace in this.
This is the role of him and Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong, and the fans of these two countries know the three of them second only to Chinese fans.
So when they saw that the Chinese team had such three gods, and they also failed to win, they naturally took this opportunity to comfort themselves.
World Cup!
Where are the real underdogs?
Besides, it's a shame that it's not eliminated now!
Of course there is no shame!
The Chinese fans of this meeting are also in a similar psychological state, and at this moment, seeing that Britain and Spain are so miserable, they naturally have an excuse to comfort themselves.
The United States can't even get into the World Cup, so it's more comfortable to think about it.
What is group heating?
That's it!
Now the world has entered an era of comparing each other badly, I can do badly, but as long as you are worse than me, then I am not bad!
