After the first matchday of the quarter-knockout round, the first two teams to qualify were Argentina and Spain.

The match between France and Italy was played on the afternoon of the second day, and the Chinese players were puzzled as to why these two countries of the same origin would pinch each other all day long, but they could see that the two sides were in a state of saber rattling from before the game, and the game did have the flavor of Mars hitting the earth.

But I have to say that this year's Italian team is really stretching, even if they change their good "concrete defense" to "butcher defense", and continue to use rough performances to deal with the French, they still can't prevent the fact that they will soon fall into the disadvantage.

The reason for this is very simple, the Italian team led by the Italian coach Azeglio has also reached the season of alternating between the old and the new, but the problem is that the old generation has begun to decline, and when the more dynamic new generation is inexperienced, the Mesozoic generation, which determines the team's ceiling, has cracked completely.

The impression of the Italian team in this World Cup is still defensive, but it is a "savage + rough" defense, and there is no defensive art at all, only outright ugliness and badness.

The Italians don't want to be so ugly, they have tried to take into account the balance between veterans, mesozoic and rookies when selecting the lineup, but unfortunately the reality leaves them with little room for choice.

The Italians unexpectedly won the championship in the last World Cup, mainly because of the fantastic performance of the young generation led by Rossi, who should have been the Mesozoic generation who carried the crown, but the young people who shook the world back then have either turned into meteors like Rossi in the past four years, or had to be absent because of injuries.

So it's like this, the veterans are no longer at their peak, the rookies are still inexperienced, and the Mesozoic of the main force has all kinds of crotch pulls.

These troubles made it to the Italians who did not even reach the quarterfinals in the original plane, and although this plane mixed into the top eight, it is really the same dish as Mexico, and it is likely to be a little more dish.

In addition, in Wu Jie's view, the defensive system of the Italian team has not changed much from the previous edition, and Azeglio has not made too many improvements to the tactics of winning the championship, he chose to be conservative.

This is very reasonable, no matter what sport, there are very few championship teams to take the initiative to change, at most they just make small repairs.

This is also the reason why no team can survive for a long time, after all, no matter how advanced the tactics are, they can't withstand the opponent's research day after day, and the weaknesses will definitely be gradually dug out, and the level of the players will decline sooner or later, and it is not difficult to understand that the Italians have collapsed so completely.

The Chinese team also took advantage of this, and their chain defense was not considered to have much to do with Italy, because this set of tactics is still quite different from the Italian team.

As for the outcome of this game, just think about the Italian team's defense that has been thoroughly studied by the Europeans, and the worst thing is that the players who execute it are not good enough, in fact, the answer has long been answered.

The Frenchman, organized by Platini, scored in the 16th minute of the first half, and since then has been pressing the Italian to play, and finally scored again in the 60th minute.

The Italians lost and lost, and Inter Milan's young centre-back Ricardo Ferry, who replaced Baresi, who was injured in the first game, in the group stage, can only be said to be too young.

Today he chose to use a ferocious defense against the Frenchman, but unfortunately the ferocity was too conspicuous, he was shown a yellow card in the first half for a malicious tackle, and in the second half he was sent off for a malicious foul on Platini.

At this time, the suspense of the victory was lost, and the French, with the hatred accumulated for hundreds of years for the Italians, finally completed the goal again before the end of the game under the leadership of an Italian, and eliminated the defending champion with a complete 3-0 victory in one fell swoop!

"Haha, the French can only win battles under the leadership of dwarves, women, and foreigners!"

"This Italian team is really good!"

"Whoever says that our defense is copying Italy, then let him come and see this game!"

"The three masters seem to have said it?"

"No way, you must have heard it wrong!"

“……”

The Chinese players are very happy to watch, and they are all regretting not being able to meet this Italian soft persimmon now.

How can there be the shadow of the last champion, the whole game is not only ugly, but also even more ugly!

Lin Yaodong was slapped in the face after saying the words that mocked the French, but he hasn't said anything good about Italy recently, which is Wu Jie's reminder to him.

The Chinese team's defense was of course copied from Italy at the earliest, and Wu Jie also said in the team that this defensive system was learned and improved from the Italian team.

But then he didn't say that, partly because the Italian team's defense was a truly glorious era, and it was after this World Cup defeat that it began.

The Chinese team in this plane is going to replace Italy in many places, so Wu Jie plans to learn from the Koreans and Japanese in the original plane.

South Koreans like to revise history, the practice of robbing history is certainly despicable, but frankly speaking, as long as China cannot surpass the United States one day and cannot regain its own right to speak in the world, then this kind of revision and plunder will not stop, and the effect must not be underestimated, and after a long time, not only people themselves believe it, but the whole world except China may believe it, and even some Chinese believe it, who makes your voice no one hear.

The Japanese can also learn from the practice, the footbasin chicken is also good at revising history, but what is better at devaluing the opponent while deceiving themselves, now they completely ignore their own backwardness of one or two thousand years, directly regard the short lead of one or two hundred years as forever, and then forcibly brand the Chinese with the label of an inferior nation, no matter what others think, anyway, they themselves believe it, and even countless Chinese have doubts about the story of Tokyo Bay until 2020.

Wu Jie was very disgusted with these practices in his previous life, but he had to admit that they were very effective.

The same is true of Chinese football, where the Japanese can turn the "Sinophobia" that they have suffered from for more than half a century into "since ancient times" in just 30 years, and even Chinese fans don't think there's anything wrong here.

How could he not learn such a good model.

This is the reality, as long as you are strong enough, you are qualified to claim "since ancient times", even if it is not possible for a short time, but as long as you can be ahead of it for decades, hundreds of years, then no one will remember the glory of your ancestors, you may not remember it yourself, and the history that has been tampered with will become real history!

China has been strong for thousands of years, but in modern times, it has only been weak for more than 100 years, which has given the surrounding little brothers an inexplicable sense of national superiority.

The birth of real modern football is less than 100 years old, and as long as Chinese football can continue to be strong for more than ten years, it is enough to claim "since ancient times".

You Dutch, Italian, just copy us, if you don't accept it, you will fight!

With this extreme idea in mind, Wu Jie quickly turned his evil gaze to England.

This opponent no longer needs to be suppressed by him, at this time, not only neutral fans feel that England can't beat China, but even British fans have little confidence.

Who is the most fearful of the Chinese team in Europe?

England dared to say second, and Denmark and Spain could only recognize third and fourth.

This will permeate even the English team with a sense of pessimism, who has made every player here a defeated player under Wu Jie, or a club junior with adoring feelings.

The England coaching staff is also all too familiar with Wu Jie, including the two superstars who started to form a two-man hegemony in La Liga, and also have an overwhelming record against English clubs.

This is one of the reasons why there is no confidence in England, Wu Jie was the No. 1 nemesis of English clubs when he was in West Germany, but what is even more embarrassing is that Chen Haonan and Lin Yaodong are close behind, and they have never lost to League One teams in Real Madrid and Barcelona.

So Bobby Robson had to choose to drop the overall formation back 20 meters before the game.

It can also be said that in order to limit the play of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan, the British had to sacrifice the balance of the overall formation and retreat as a whole in order to form a numerical advantage to curb the play of these two superstars.

As for offense, of course, you can only use speed to play defensive counterattacks.

Robson still has some confidence in this play, speed is the magic weapon for England to defeat the enemy, this time they also have Lineker who is at his peak, there should be no need to worry about the goal efficiency, the main thing is whether they can prevent the alien.

Now the question is this, can they use the numerical advantage to limit Wu Jie and Chen Haonan?

In addition, what style of play will the Chinese team choose in this game?

Will the Chinese also choose to put defense first?

The whole world wants to know the question that the English have been pondering before the game.

The Chinese team's style of play against Brazil in the last round can be called a strengthened version of Italy, and many critics believe that the Chinese team's style of play against Brazil after the game is an evolved version of Italy's tactics when it defeated Brazil in the last session.

This killer move, the Chinese will not use only once, and it is likely that it will continue to be used against England.

This is a reasonable and fair view, because it is the correct answer.

But the tactics of the Chinese team will not be set in stone, because they have no coach at all!

It would be embarrassing for Nian Weisi to say this, but it's also true!

The Chinese team doesn't need a coach at all, Lin Yaodong is the coach on the backline on the field, and the entire back line is like his two arms, completely under his control.

In addition to being the metronome of the whole team and mastering the rhythm of attack and defense, Chen Haonan is also completely in his driving range in the middle, he is the coach of the Chinese team in the midfield.

Wu Jie has no need for command, he is really a free man under normal circumstances, he can go wherever he likes, he can fight how he likes, and his teammates behind him will take the initiative to cooperate.

In this case, of course, there is no need for the presence of a head coach, and the Chinese team has always fought according to real-time changes on the field.

This also includes the tactical play of each game, which will also be adjusted according to different opponents.

If it is against West Germany, Spain and France, they will indeed meet the opponent with a new version of the defense like in the last game, and these teams will not find a way to solve it in a short time.

But if the opponent becomes England, then the Chinese team does not need to be too conservative, and can take advantage of the overall technical level of Wu Jie and Chen Haonan to use a control style of play to deal with the British.

Britain would not have guessed that China would be so inappropriate, because the control style of play has always been a tactic that only be chosen when a strong team plays a weak team, and the Chinese team is not a team that specializes in the way, which obviously does not take English football seriously.

But it's no wonder that the British are not thoughtful, the Chinese team's behavior of being able to change tactics according to each opponent is the only one in the world.

In fact, without the three gods, it would be impossible for the Chinese team to play like this, and no matter how solid the basic skills are, they can't do it.

A team, a style, just like a person who specializes in one field can achieve something, and the result of greed can only be mixed but not refined.

But Wu Jie and his tool man have a wealth of experience that ordinary people can't have, so this kind of omnipotence is possible.

Wu Jie has always developed his teammates outside the three of them in the direction of tool people with solid basic skills, at that time, what style the three of them played, what style the younger brothers had, anyway, they didn't rely on them to come to Kerry.

#######

When the Chinese team drove to the "Olympic Stadium in University City" in a bus in anticipation of the whole world, it was exactly 7 o'clock in the evening, and in an hour and a half, the final game of the quarterfinals was about to start.

The stadium was smaller than the Aztec Stadium in the same city tonight, but it was expanded to 90,000 before the World Cup.

However, the number of people accommodating the Chinese team is not very important, and today is destined to be another away game, because it can be seen from the skin color of the fans who entered in advance that most of the faces are painted with the English flag and are wearing England jerseys.

But when a reporter from a Mexican TV station filmed the fans entering the stadium before the game, he was lucky enough to capture a figure that is well-known to many Mexicans.

"Isn't that Qin Jian?"

"That's right, I watched the fight the other day, and he has already qualified to challenge for the title."

"Who's that calf-like guy next to him?"

"Looks like a sparring partner!"

“……”

Few British fans knew Qin Jian, but the few Mexican neutral fans who were entering the stadium actually recognized Qin Jian.

Qin Jian was also surprised to see someone asking him for an autograph, but Mexico's status in the world boxing has always been very high, and the sport is second only to football in the country.

Chinese boxing is not even qualified to look up to in this regard, Mexico has had boxing champions before World War II, and since the 70s, there have been many boxing champions with dominance in their respective weight groups.

After the 80s, Mexico's top boxers officially ushered in a golden age, second only to the United States in terms of quantity and quality, and boxing is second only to football in Mexico.

After Qin Jian rose to the top three in the IBF a year ago, it was not easy to fight again, because the high-ranking fighters did not want to fight him, and the lower-ranked opponents did not want to fight, and it often took two or three months to fight a match from then on.

His 11th bout was in Las Vegas, not far from Mexico, and this time against a former Mexican fighter who was ranked No. 2 in the IBF rankings and had obtained American citizenship.

This fight was just finished three days ago, and many Mexicans still have an impression of this match, because Qin Jian won by knockout opponent again.

There aren't many fighters in professional boxing who have won 11 fights at the beginning of their careers, and this is the only one who has won by knockout.

Qin Jian is another Asian boxer, and he is currently the only Chinese professional boxer, so it is difficult not to attract attention.

Now that the former Mexican boxer is still lying in the hospital, Qin Jian has come here unscathed to watch his country's football game, so you can imagine how big the gap between the second and third is.

At this time, it is also understandable why the current IBF welterweight champion did not fight when the IBF officially arranged for the current boxing champion to defend his title three months ago.

But it doesn't matter if you don't accept it, Qin Jian has long known that it is not so easy to challenge the boxing champion.

Anyway, this kind of thing can be avoided on the first day of junior high school, but not on the fifteenth.

Now that he's won the title challenge qualifier, he's officially the top challenger in the weight division.

According to the rules, as long as Qin Jian chooses to challenge, the active boxing champion must accept it within a month and fight within half a year, otherwise his gold belt will be directly deprived.

Of course, even if the current boxing champion accepts the challenge, this kind of boxing championship challenge will have a long preparation period, and it will be good to be able to fight at the end of the year.

Tyson says he's just as impatient because he'll be waiting for his first title challenge, but he'll have to wait a long time.

This will make Tyson's face not very good-looking, he can see that the eyes of these Mexicans, and even the British are on Qin Jian, and not many people know him?

It's no wonder that people have no eyes, although he, like Qin Jian, is a rising star in the boxing world who has not tasted defeat since his debut, and the ornamentation is even better.

But the problem is that there are too many top black fighters at all levels, including the current black champions, who can't count them on both hands.

In addition, Tyson's record is not as good as Qin Jian's, only 6 of his 12 wins are KO wins, and the other 6 are TKO wins, which is a lot worse than Qin Jian's 11 all KO wins.

"KO" and "TKO" are just one letter apart, but the difference is far apart.

"KO" means "knocking out an opponent who is unconscious, or incapacitating the ability to resist, and the referee is unable to get up and continue fighting for 10 seconds."

A "TKO" is "technically knocked out, but the fighter is not yet able to resist and can still get up and continue the fight, but the referee has to stop the fight to protect the fight."

This can also understand that both of them became famous at a young age, and both have won all the records since their debut, why Qin Jian was able to become the most eye-catching boxing star before he hit the first boxing championship belt, and Tyson is indeed a little worse in comparison.

But tonight, even Qin Jian is just a spectator, he can't even steal the limelight of British players, let alone steal the limelight of the Chinese team.

And our protagonist tonight, who will be at the pre-match press conference, is ready to be interviewed......
