Chapter 369: This is called bullying the weak and fearing the hard
After the Chinese team finished the first game, there was no mention of anything related to the Soviet team from top to bottom.
"Review" is even more unlikely to happen, as soon as the World Cup game is over, it will be left behind, because this opponent will not run into it again.
At this time, there is no need for introspection, except for those few little children who are difficult to play, everyone is a veteran of a hundred battles, don't you know what is wrong with you?
Players like Gu Guangming and Jia Xiuquan who are at their peak, they all know where their strengths and weaknesses are, but they can't improve anything after they have reached the ceiling.
It's time to relax, rest and focus on the next game.
The next match of the Chinese team is on the 17th, that is, the day after tomorrow, and the opponent is the strongest team on paper in the group, West Germany.
West Germany has something to say and they feel that the schedule is very unfriendly to them.
The first match of the Chinese team was on the 14th, the second game was on the 17th, and the third game was on the 21st, and the rest time in between was very ample, and it was second only to the host Mexico in each group.
The first game on the West German side is on the 15th, and then the Chinese team will be played on the 17th, and the third game will be played a day earlier than the Chinese team.
This schedule is indeed very unfriendly to the West German team, and many people are betting on the Chinese team to win.
The Chinese team is now very favored, although they tied with the Soviet team in their first game, they dominated most of the game, and most of the statistics after the game were dominated by the Chinese team.
Reports from all over the world also believe that the Chinese team is just a little bit of luck to score, and this game should be won by them!
Wu Jie knows that West Germany is not easy to deal with, this team has reached the World Cup final three times in a row in 82, 86, and 90 years, which is unique in the entire history of the World Cup.
Now the outside world is so optimistic about China, mainly because the information flow is not clear enough, and the three of them give people too deep an impression.
If you really carefully compare the comprehensive strength of the two sides, the difference between the Chinese team and the West German team is actually a bit huge!
The coaching staff of the Chinese team understands that there is a gap in strength between the two sides, and during this period, the players were not allowed to contact any media reports, including their own media was also blocked.
Now they only need to focus on adjusting their state while preparing for the game with peace of mind, as for the gap in comprehensive strength, it may not be so serious if you don't think about it, anyway, even the West German team has misestimated the strength of the Chinese team to a large extent.
######
On June 15th, the West German team, which had been chattering about the schedule, started a game with the whole team with a tourist mentality, and the game time was the local afternoon.
This game has received far less attention than yesterday's China VS Soviet Union, except for the broadcast of the same group of countries, there is basically no third-party country to broadcast, because everyone knows that there is no suspense about the outcome of the game.
The Chinese team naturally watched their strongest opponent in front of the TV like the Soviets, and Wu Jie's line of sight even marked the ability values of the players of the two teams.
Of course, this stat value is only a digital reflection of the player's recent competitive form, and it should not be taken too seriously in detail in each game, because some players can explode into a small universe in the game when they are excited, while some players will experience various changes that will cause their form to decline, and these numbers will change at any time during the game.
But in any case, the West German side is indeed better than the Soviet team in terms of numbers.
West Germany starters –
Frontfielders: Rudy Worrall (91), Klaus Alofs (90)
Midfielders: Litbarski (93), Mateus (94), Argovwe (88), Wolfgang (90)
Backfield: Bremer (90), Bethold (88), Karl Heinz (89), Briegel (87)
Goalkeeper: Toni Schumacher (92)
Today, facing the North American sick man in the fourth gear, the West German team still used the default formation of the past two years, and there were not too many surprises in the lineup, only a 22-year-old teenager Thomas Betthold replaced the veteran Norbert Eder as the starting central defender, and the rest of the positions of the starters were expected by the Chinese team's coaching staff.
The coaching staff of the Chinese team attaches great importance to the collection of information on these three teams, and at least the three opponents in the group stage, the general level and playing style of each player, including the coaching style and personality of the head coach, they have more detailed information, which also makes them more comfortable when arranging the lineup.
This information is naturally the credit of Wu Jie's use of the system to cheat, and in this era, intelligence collection is a nerve-wracking thing for any team, and it is even more difficult to collect intelligence about the Chinese team.
Wu Jie explained these overly accurate intelligence sources as "private detectives", and the coaching staff of the Chinese team had doubts about this, but they did not ask in detail, anyway, the funds for collecting intelligence were borne by Wu Jie himself, and they only needed to accept all the orders, and Wu Jie would also bear the blame for any errors in the intelligence.
As for the Jiama Brigade, although Wu Jie also gave detailed information, and the Chinese team did not take the enemy lightly, and made preparations as seriously, the disdain in his heart still appeared in his deep mind.
But it's no wonder that they look down on people, the West German side also didn't pay attention to Jiamada, in fact, even Jiama himself did not have any plans to qualify.
The biggest goal that these great patients who can't do without herbal medicine set for themselves is to win a game, but what makes China disgusting is that the goal that these sick men want to win is actually them?
This is not only to show that the strength of the Chinese team is inferior to that of the Soviet Union and West Germany, but also to put the strength of the Chinese team in the same position as them.
So the Chinese team now wants to meet these drug-addicted sick men in Lin Yaodong's mouth as soon as possible, and then let them know what the group of death is.
However, the Germans have already taught the team a lesson first, and this game did not let the players feel a trace of joy in the game from the first minute, who let them be pressed to the ground from the beginning of the hammer!
Wu Jie has already expected this, there are not many big scores in the group stage of the World Cup, but if you look closely, you can always find many names of the German team.
This is not to say that the German team is good at playing attacking football, in fact, most of the games of the German team in this period were won by small scores.
However, the German team's rigorous and serious style of play means that they will not relax too much when facing a weak team or when the opponent is not in good form, and will still rumble over you like a "chariot".
The original Chinese team met Brazil in the 02 World Cup, not to mention losing only three goals, even if it only lost two goals, it is not impossible, because the way Brazilian players look down on you is to show off their skills completely at will, they prefer to play the process of the opponent, and they are not entangled in scoring a few goals.
But if you meet the Germans, the number of goals they concede will be at least multiplied by two, because the way the Germans look down on you is to ravage you and experience the thrill of constantly abusing your opponents.
The Canadian team felt it today, what is called "no feelings"!
These German players can be described as "ruthless" when abusing vegetables, and in the first half, the Canadian team was hit by 5 Gustav cannons!
When the Canadian players walked into the tunnel of the players, not only could they no longer see their pre-match smiles, but many of them could not even recall what they had experienced in the first half, and their heads were empty and blank!
It's actually a stress response to a huge blow, and deep in their brains they spontaneously don't want to recall those painful images.
"These Germans are really ruthless, and they don't show any mercy!"
"I think the Canadians are too bad, do they think it's a friendly match?"
"Yes, the strength of the two sides is obviously a few notches behind, and they are still tickling when defending, are Canadians so polite?"
"They talk fart politely, and they are more active than the Americans, and there is not a good thing on either side!"
Lin Yaodong snorted, and the last sentence was of course what he said, which not only immediately marked the discussion, but also made some players who yearn for Canada dare not mention this country in front of him anymore.
They are China's richest man who knows restraint abroad, but he doesn't restrain himself at home.
Who doesn't know that he is an extreme pink rabbit, in Chen Haonan's words, "ultra-nationalism", these players are very careful not to say anything in front of him.
Soon, the discussion began to start on the question of how many Canadians will be pumped?
Most people think that playing at the pace of the first half, Canada will have to score seven or eight goals in the whole game, and it is not impossible to even play a double-digit scoreline.
Fortunately, the attitude of the Canadians is not serious, and they will not be poured five times in the first half, and they still have the same attitude of being a child.
In the second half, the Canadian team, after understanding that the Germans would not show mercy at all, finally showed a relatively positive attitude in order to prevent a humiliating defeat!
The German team saw that the Canadians began to work hard, so naturally they did not spare their physical strength for the sake of abusing vegetables.
They are not reckless men who don't care about anything, they will face the Chinese team in two days, and they still have to retain their strength to deal with this strong enemy.
The final 6-0 saw the Canadians fall to the edge of the post of shame, at least not as badly as they were tied up, but six goal difference gave West Germany the upper hand in the group qualiding situation.
Many Chinese fans have a conspiracy theory bias on this, and they feel that the Canadian team is completely giving West Germany a goal difference.
Who made the players of these two teams look the same regardless of their shapes, and many players look completely carved out of the same mold, and they can't tell the difference at all.
The Chinese team did have a lot of pressure at this time, and West Germany was already at the top of the group after beating Canada, and still had a big goal difference.
That means they will have to win their next meeting with West Germany, with even a draw putting the group qualification situation in jeopardy.
But it's not without good news, they will have an advantage over West Germany physically, after all, they can rest for an extra day.
In the past two days, the Chinese team has continued to prepare for the game with peace of mind, and only three bigwigs will take a look at the progress of other groups.
Group B is also considered a group of death, Italy was beaten by Denmark in the first game, and Spain was also held to a draw by Ireland, both games were upsets.
Italy, the defending champion, has felt the danger of being eliminated from the group, and the value of a number of stars in the Danish team has naturally risen sharply, and many European media have begun to cheer for the Danish players who play for Arsenal, which is naturally to reduce Wu Jie's role at Arsenal.
There were no upsets in Group C, with Mexico beating Saudi Arabia in their opening game and Paraguay beating Algeria by a big margin.
England in Group D are also a high-profile team, with their opening match against Morocco being highly broadcast, but they were beaten 3-1 by this third-tier team, causing another big upset.
In Group E, Brazil and Belgium won their opening matches respectively, the only group without an upset.
The final Group F also belongs to the group of death, with France drawing with Portugal in the opening game and Argentina beating Hungary 4-0.
Wu Jie didn't pay much attention to Platini, his eyes were all on Argentina.
Maradona's performance in this game was very impressive, although he did not score, but scored an extremely rare hat-trick of assists, which had to be closely watched by him.
To be honest, Maradona's performance is even more terrifying than scoring a hat-trick, and it also shows that under his oppression, it is likely to forge a more terrifying Maradona than the original plane.
He watched the game through the system, Maradona's ability to break through with the ball in the midfield is still unsolved, but what worries him the most is that Maradona's vision, awareness and passing ability are more terrifying than the original plane!
The current Maradona is not even as influential as Chen Haonan because he did not win a decent championship in Europe, but if he continues to show such a brilliant performance, he should soon be compared with him.
However, if they want to meet Argentina, they will need to make it out of the group stage smoothly, which does not seem to be an easy task right now.
######
On June 17, at the Sapopan Stadium, the group A group stage between the Chinese team and the West German team will start in the evening.
It's a stadium with a capacity of 40,000 people, but even that number is the result of removing all the seats, and the 40,000 fans present today have to stand and watch the game.
Mexico's construction of sports facilities is obviously not in line with the requirements of the World Cup, but it is indeed too difficult to expect a country with a herbal group and a government to engage in infrastructure construction every day.
The Chinese team saw in the game two days ago that the stadium is not only old, but also the quality of the turf is very worrying, coupled with the strength of the West Germans defensively, it is not suitable for ground attack today.
Therefore, today's tactics will be more carried out in the way of long passing, so that the arrangement of troops will naturally change from the first game.
At the pre-match press conference, Wu Jie did not engage in an offensive literary fight.
Now his highest support in Europe is still West Germany, and as long as he is not a fool, he will definitely not take the initiative to offend these fans.
But in this way, there is nothing to see at the press conference, and the majority of fans can directly enter the game.
When the Chinese fans in front of the TV received the signal, they had indeed entered the player's entry session.
Everyone soon found out that the starting lineup of the Chinese team in this game has changed a series -
Frontcourt: Wu Jie (99), Yang Shuhua (82)
Midfielders: Ren Zhihui (84), Zhen Aiguo (84), Chen Haonan (98), Gu Guangming (83).
Backcourt: Wang Dongning (83), Jia Xiuquan (84), Cui Yonghua (82), Li Junwei (84).
Goalkeeper: Lin Yaodong (98).
When Chinese fans see these familiar names on TV or hear them on the radio, they naturally think that each one is star-studded.
However, compared with the starting lineup of West Germany, the Chinese players are actually a lot worse in terms of the lower limit, not only can they not find the level of players below 85 ability in the starting lineup, but the state of many people today seems to be in a state of decline.
Wu Jie said that he has done his best, the comprehensive strength of players from all countries in the World Cup is a reflection of the football strength of each country, and it is indeed impossible for Chinese football to catch up with a football power like West Germany in five or six years, and it is already the limit for them to form this squad in five years.
As for the decline in the stats of many players, it is naturally related to the opponents they face, which is also the most brutal aspect of any competitive sport.
Today, Wu Jie came to the center forward position, the purpose is to use his individual ability to directly threaten the West German goal, and then use Chen Haonan's long pass in the midfield to create opportunities.
This also shows in disguise that he does not plan to rely on his teammates to help him today, except for Lin Yaodong in front of the goal and Chen Haonan in the midfield, the rest of them are in a state of being released on the offensive end.
But after seeing the starting lineup of the German team, Wu Jie had a bad premonition, this formation was obviously set up for him, and I have to say that the Germans know him too well.
West Germany starters –
Frontfielders: Rudy Worrall (90), Klaus Alofs (89)
Midfielders: Littbarski (94), Mateus (96), Wolfgang (91)
Back: Bremer (92), Betthold (87), Karl Heinz (88), Norbert Eder (88), Briegel (89)
Goalkeeper: Toni Schumacher (89).
This is clearly a set of restraint for the Chinese team, and at the same time targeting his lineup, the West German side seems to have guessed that the Chinese team will put him in the center forward position today.
Wu Jie frowned at first when he looked at this lineup, and then he couldn't laugh or cry a little, because it was too real.
Today, in the German team's back line, the state of the two full-backs has all risen, but the three central defenders are in a state of decline, which is obviously that the three central defenders are a little timid when they see him.
West Germany's strikers and goalkeepers have also declined in form, with both of Germany's strikers having a drop in quality today compared to the previous game, apparently because they have to face Lin Yaodong and Alexander. And Schumacher, who is known as one of the four gods in active service, is estimated to be also very painful when he sees himself today, and his state has dropped directly below 90.
However, the midfielders of the German team were all shocked after entering the stadium, and their form exploded, including Mateus, who also changed from a pre-3 state to +2 in an instant.
This is very understandable, Mateus must have thought that he was going to face him before the game, but of course he had no confidence in his heart, and he was probably a little autistic.
But after entering the stadium, seeing Wu Jie playing in the center position, the pressure in Matthaus's heart not only dissipated instantly, but also stimulated a strong desire to fight after seeing Chen Haonan, and he desperately wanted to prove that he was the strongest defender in the active team.
Wu Jie can only smile bitterly at this, if he is still active in the midfield today, West Germany's midfielders will definitely be in a state of declining ability, but their central defenders will rise again.
What does it mean to bully the soft and fear the hard?
That's it!
If you want to win today, it still depends on who of the two teams can bully each other's weaknesses more ruthlessly!
But judging from the comprehensive strength of the two teams, Wu Jie really doesn't have confidence that his teammates can resist these top stars of the West German team.
