Chapter 187: Don't wipe the blood!
July 12th, 8 p.m., Camp Nou.
When the Chinese players entered the huge stadium, they were unsurprisingly greeted by at least 70,000 or 80,000 supporters of the German team, and the rest of the fans were also neutral fans of Barcelona.
Today, there are still only seven or eight thousand fans who really support China, which is already a few thousand more than the first round of preliminaries, because more Chinese people from abroad come to cheer.
However, the size of seven or eight thousand people can barely reach one-tenth of the German fans, so the Chinese team is still playing in a devil's away game.
These German fans did not give Wu Jie face, and they showed the momentum of Europe's anti-rabbit rush tonight.
All the insulting and discriminatory slogans, portraits, and banners that the Chinese players could think of were all brought in by the Germans, and they even sent out an overwhelming insult and boo on the Chinese team!
Especially when 70,000 or 80,000 people booed together, the Chinese players could even feel a wave of heat rushing towards their faces, and that sense of oppression was really like an invisible enchantment shrouded from all directions under the special structure of the Camp Nou.
Wu Jie didn't feel any pressure, what devil's home stadium he hadn't seen?
He was greeting a couple of Bayern team-mates.
"When you returned home, I was thinking if we would meet in the World Cup, but I didn't expect it to come true."
After Breitner saw Wu Jie, he stepped forward and hugged him very kindly.
"Seriously, I didn't expect you to knock out England and France, you're such a monster!"
Dremler's words made Wu Jie a little unhappy, you said that I was below, right?
"Carl, how are your injuries?"
After Wu Jie greeted two teammates who had a good relationship, he looked at Rummenigge, who had been playing as a substitute in this World Cup.
"It's fine!"
Rummenigge said, "I don't want to talk," and he just replied perfunctorily.
But this is not particularly aimed at Wu Jie, he really doesn't want to talk to others now, and he looks like he is autistic before the game starts.
"So, it's a stupid thing to fight with injuries!"
Wu Jie said in his heart, of course he knew that Rummenigge had not started in this World Cup, and his place in the national team had been snatched away by Hrubesch.
A year ago, Rummenigge was 93 and the best striker in Europe deserved his name, but now he has pulled his hips to the second echelon of top strikers.
This is the disadvantage of conservative treatment, which is really gambling on your athletic career.
But this type of gambling is generally much more likely to lose, regardless of the sport.
After the two sides have said hello, the first game of Group C is about to begin.
China's starting line-up tonight was similar to the one against England as they were looking to play their best attacking performance today.
The German team sent a very targeted lineup, which is a 4-2-3-1 formation -
Centre-forward: Horst Hrubesch (88)
Left midfielder: Pierre Littbarski (89)
Right midfielder: Hans Müller (86)
Avant-garde: Paul Breitner (86)
Defender: Lothar Mateus (87)
Defender: Felix Magath (85)
Centre-back: Hans Peter Briegel (87)
Centre-back: Karl Heinz Forster (88)
Left-back: Manfred Kartz (85)
Right-back: Wolfgang Dremler (84)
Goalkeeper: Toni Schumacher (87)
The Germans were also frustrated to deal with Wu Jie, and Magath was unable to avoid this battle in the end, with manager Jupp de Waal sending a two-back formation to protect his own backline.
Wu Jie naturally didn't see Rummenigge in the starter, but he would like to see this guy appear in the starting lineup, and at this moment Rummenigge's threat is really not as strong as Hrubesch, and even inferior to Klaus Fischer, who has been starting before.
Germany's starting XI looked evenly balanced, with only his teammate Wolfgang Dremler below 85.
But the team's problems are also obvious, with Rummenigge currently not having a superstar with an ability value above 90 after his injury.
It's nothing if it's an ordinary participating team, but as a team that aspires to win the championship, it means that there is no real core, no real backbone.
But I have to say that this set of double back lineups made Wu Jie very uncomfortable after the opening!
The two guys surnamed Ma are very similar in many places, they are both the same short back, they are both the same physical energy, tenacious fighting spirit, and they also have a certain foot technique and offensive ability, of course, Mateus's ceiling in all aspects is much higher than that of Magath.
Mateus is more capable and is naturally responsible for tangling with him head-on.
Magath is more experienced and specializes in watching for opportunities to harass from the sidelines.
This is the double back package that the German team has prepared for him, if Wu Jie can still break through these two, then there is also Hans and Forster in the back line to form a second line of insurance, and the last line of defense guarded by Schumacher in front of goal.
Wu Jie faced such layers of defense, no matter how strong his ability was, it was impossible to pass three levels in a row, so he naturally needed the help of his teammates on the wing and in the frontcourt.
But can his teammates really help?
Shen Xiangfu and Liu Haiguang's ability values are both less than 80, and Zhao Dayu and Gu Guangming are only 80 and 81.
The quartet struggled to pose enough threat even against Wolfgang Dremler, who had been beaten by Cunningham in the Champions League final for the second year in a row.
So after fighting, Wu Jie found out that he was really the director of the orphanage now.
But the German team is not much better, they have paid too much price on the defensive end to deal with Wu Jie, which seriously affects the attack in the front court.
Breitner has too many tasks to take on in this lineup, but he is no longer in his prime, and it is difficult for him to perform against Chen Haonan's defense.
The Germans could only rely on the strong attacks of the two flanks to create chances, but in the middle there was a Hrubesch to respond, and neither horse dared to press it, which made their attack also a bit thunderous and rainy.
Neither team created much of a real threat in the first 10 minutes, with the Germans looking better at best, as they were able to break through on the flanks and often cut inside, but they were still a little short of scoring.
At this time, the Chinese team was the first to make changes, Chen Haonan added a long pass in the midfield, mainly to find Liu Haiguang to scramble for the first landing point, or directly pass Zhao Dayu in front of him for anti-offside, and sometimes give the ball to the two wings in front of them, so that they can go down or cut inside as much as possible.
It's not easy to create chances like this, but it's the best option at this stage, because the player's ability is there.
Wu Jie's position is very erratic, he will run to a position parallel to Liu Haiguang, and then go to the two wings to wait for an opportunity, and from time to time he will shrink back.
This made the German team's defensive formation very embarrassing, because their main defensive task today was Wu Jie, and they had to follow Wu Jie everywhere at this time.
But where the German team's defensive focus shifts, Chen Haonan's ball will be moved to the other side.
Obviously, Wu Jie is more like a decoy today, and Chen Haonan, as the commander behind the drag, is the real organizer.
But the Germans had to bite this bait to the death, who knows if Chen Haonan would suddenly give the ball to Wu Jie's feet once he relaxed his defense against Wu Jie?
In the 16th minute of the first half, Gu Guangming finally showed the best performance of this World Cup on the side, he used a "bull tail pass" to shake the attacking more than defensive Manfred, and then successfully completed the inward cut.
This is also one of the weaknesses of the German team, Manfred is the earliest "attacking fullback", or he is the first to play famous "attacking fullback", characterized by the natural insertion of the offense is very outstanding, and a rare arc ball cross in this era, which can be understood as Beckham's general pass + sharp insertion attack, but his problem is the defense in general.
Gu Guangming broke through and went straight to the penalty area, and Foster, who played the role of a scavenger, had to come to fill the position, at which time Zhao Dayu ran back, and the football came to his feet.
It was a great performance for the Guangdong team, who created a threatening attack without Wu Jie's participation.
Unfortunately, Zhao Dayu failed to create the goal, and Schumacher fell to the ground to save the awkwardly angled shot off the line.
"Beautiful, just fight like this, we don't have a chance!"
Wu Jie sincerely applauded his teammates, how much he hoped that this kind of attack would come a few more times, don't let him fight several times every time, those two big horses and ponies together are really not easy to deal with.
The Germans were nervous about the corner, because Wu Jie and Liu Haiguang were both tall players, and the small man was also very erratic, and the three were very dangerous in the penalty area.
The Chinese team's corner kick was taken by Chen Haonan, and Wu Jie had to find a way to score in the penalty area.
"Brigel, go keep an eye on that guy!"
Schumacher was one of the best goalkeepers in Europe of this era, and with the characteristic mustache of the German of this era, he loudly directed the team's tallest defender to mark Wu Jie.
Chen Haonan observed the situation in the penalty area, and saw that Wu Jie was surrounded by three defenders, and Schumacher was also staring at Wu Jie, with a little calculation in his heart, and directly sent the ball to the back point, which was the area where Liu Haiguang was standing.
Liu Haiguang also has a defensive player next to him, but it is Foster, who is only 1.78 meters tall.
"Not good!"
Schumacher accurately judged where the ball would land and immediately ran to the back of the goal.
Foster also quickly realized that he was underestimating the Chinese center, and originally he felt that although he was a little shorter, with his strong body and excellent bounce ability, he should be able to limit the opponent.
But I didn't expect this guy who only played in the Bundesliga last season to have such a good ability to compete for high-altitude balls.
Liu Haiguangxin said: Lao Tzu has nothing to show in the World Cup, but except for "headers" and "fighting for the top"!
At this moment, his "air king" attribute played an effect, jumping high in the face of the incoming ball, and he had the absolute upper hand in both timing and aerial confrontation, and Foster, who played well in this World Cup, was directly pressed under him by him.
But just as he was about to throw his head on the football, Schumacher arrived in front of him.
However, Schumacher came from the front of the goal after all, and seeing that Liu Haiguang was about to complete the header goal, he was so anxious that he directly stretched out his fists and slammed into Liu Haiguang's face, and one knee also came towards Liu Haiguang, trying to force the opponent to dodge.
How could Liu Haiguang dodge, this goal is the closest moment he is to scoring in the World Cup, and it is also a goal that may help the team win, not to mention two fists and one knee, even if it is two bullets + a grenade, he has to complete this shot.
The Shanghai centre-forward looked resolute and had no intention of dodging in the face of Schumacher's malicious attack.
So the tragic scene happened, he was hit in the face by Schumacher's fists in the air, and he also received a merciless iron knee in the abdomen, and his whole body instantly fell like a kite with a broken string.
But the moment before it was hit, the ball was also pushed towards the goal by him first.
Everyone looked at the goal for the first time, only to see the ball past Schumacher and towards the top left of the goal, only three meters away for anyone to stop.
"The ball is in, the ball is in, Liu Haiguang's header hits the goal!"
Of course, Song Shixiong also saw Schumacher's unsportsmanlike hurtful actions, but he must tell the Chinese fans the good news as soon as possible!
", are you kicking or hitting someone?"
Zhao Dayu was the shortest player on the field, but rushed forward to confront Schumacher at the first time, and even head-onted the opponent.
Schumacher is very cunning, he obviously has a tall figure of 1.87 meters, but at this moment, he was knocked to the ground by Zhao Dayu, who is 1.60 meters tall, like a little girl, and then rolled on the spot!
Breitner hurriedly stepped forward to block the two, but he didn't know if he was guilty or for Wu Jie's sake, he didn't fight back for his teammates, but just separated the two to prevent the conflict from expanding.
"Mr. referee, shouldn't such a butcher show a red card?"
Wu Jie went to put pressure on the referee, and the rest of the Chinese players had already run over to check on Liu Haiguang's injury.
"I've got my own measure!"
The referee on duty today is an Englishman, as the country that is currently the most resistant to Wu Jie and the most active anti-rabbit, coupled with the hatred that has just been eliminated by China, many Chinese actually know that today's game will be treated unfairly.
So when he walked up to Schumacher, first took out a yellow card for the latter to breathe a sigh of relief, and then showed a yellow card to Zhao Dayu, Wu Jie could only go to see Liu Haiguang's injury first.
Everyone knows that such a decision is obviously deliberately biased in favor of the German team, and such a naked foul is bound to be a red card in any era.
But there is no way, it is good that the ball is not blown off.
If Schumacher is really given a red card, then Germany, which is a ten-man fighter, really can't win against China.
Liu Haiguang will naturally be a little miserable, the injury on his face is not serious, after all, the goalkeeper's gloves can cushion part of the impact, but the two noses are bloody, which looks very scary.
But the injury to his abdomen was very serious, Schumacher's knee went to his lower abdomen, and a little further down was the root of his life, and this time the pain was so painful that he almost went into shock.
Wu Jie had to admire this Shanghai teammate, in other words, he would definitely not risk his life at the risk of being hit hard.
"The ball is in, I am the goal!"
Liu Haiguang was so painful that his lips turned white, but he still said with a smile that was more ugly than crying.
'That's right, we were ahead, we could hit back and you scored a decisive goal for us.'
Wu Jie hurriedly comforted this martyr-looking teammate, for fear that he would say, "Then I'll rest assured, help me take care of my third uncle and grandfather."
"Then I'll rest assured, replace me, I shouldn't be able to fight."
Wu Jie guessed half right, of course Liu Haiguang was not as serious as leaving a last word, but at least this game could not be played.
At this time, the stretcher outside the field was also brought in, and Liu Haiguang originally wanted to show the will of the Chinese players, and he forced himself to go on.
Seeing this, Wu Jie hurriedly held him down!
Just kidding, at this time, even if Liu Haiguang was not injured, he had to make him pretend that he couldn't stand up and be carried down, because he was going to be replaced after taking the lead.
Now, of course, it is to make Liu Haiguang how miserable and miserable he is!
"Don't wipe the blood, hurry up and pretend to be in shock!"
Wu Jie glanced around at this time, and after Liu Haiguang landed just now, he was surrounded by nearby Chinese players, and the camera couldn't capture him at all.
If you don't act at this time, how can Wu Jie be embarrassed to say that he graduated from La Masia?
Liu Haiguang paused for a moment, only to see Wu Jie reach out and squeeze the blood in his nose hard, and then quickly wiped several handfuls on his face, which immediately made his face full of blood!
The Chinese players are stupid, and there is still this kind of operation?
Liu Haiguang also reacted quickly, and immediately remembered his uncle who had a stroke, and hurriedly rolled his eyes with his eyes half-open, and the muscles on his face twitched.
"Good, talented, get out of the way!"
Wu Jie was very satisfied with this, and immediately motioned for everyone to get out of the way, and by the way, he wiped the blood on his hands on Liu Haiguang's clothes.
